The Way

when the heart is heavy

weary from the pain

and you wonder, is this it

will I go insane


don’t listen to the programming

don’t listen to the fear

don’t let the darkness fool you

remember why you’re here


you came for a reason

it is something sacred

don’t let the pain claim you

and turn you into hatred


to do so is to give to it

exactly what it wants

for light cannot be channeled

through hardened hearts


so process the pain

and open up a space

that will be required

to allow in the grace


gestate the grief

and allow it to depart

then alchemize the anger

into action and art


we have to face the shadow

both within and without

shine the light upon it

and overcome the doubt


don’t let loud voices tell you

you are weak and small

we must stand and rise above

this is the greater call


do not become the darkness

do not succumb to fear

instead remember who you are

and why it is you're here
