LIGHT.

Like a well, deep deep down

So deep that the longest rope would not reach

Thoughts so deep that no one's mind can reach

Depth so deep that depth is redefined

A little form of fear....not anxiety, a different kind of fear

That subjects the mind to loneliness

Aloneness...separation....distance

From the things that should matter

To the things that least matter

Worse of it....the self denial

Complete denial to accept one's worst fears

And the truth that nothing can be and is perfect

Life begins to lose it’s meaning

Dreams once dreamt have slowly

Found their way to this deep dark well

Of uncertainty, doubt and fear

Effort to revive anything... lost

No passion for anything new

No desire for something different

A form of sanity seems to flow from the so sad

and boring life routine coined by one

Slow down.....pause.....breathe

Maybe it’s not so bad

Maybe a light can shine in this well

An idea....maybe a new desire

Not for the unproductive old

For something new, refreshing and exhilarating

But then maybe life is just a mirage

A false reflection of life

Maybe there’s really no light

And life is surrounded with darkness

Wouldn't you rather be your light

Your own sanity, your peace.

Create your own path

How else would the world be bright.... if you refuse to shine your light.
