Darkness so deep, will no light penetrate.
The many walls so high, will no man scale.
A place darkness need not hide.
Is it all to keep out the light
or darkness not to show.

Few will ever experience the depths of what is inside.
The hollowed ground only words will my heart escape.

Peace, love, knowledge, life.

Do I go out and find this in the world.

Or, do I look within.

Why
My parents told me financial wealth is everything, but not why.

I'm told that at Harvard your told the color of life is red, but not why.

My heart tells me to love, and I do know why.

Is this pain I feel.
Is it not just perception or, is it real.
Do I only feel it because others say I have it.  

How will I know if it is only in my mind.

I yell out loud What magic must I possess fore God too smile on me and give me the answer.

The depth of your pain has no end.
Your many lives of past love and great loss, no end, no start.
All making you the master of the sole.  

Is there no solace in life.

So many lessons so many words.
Your smile and heart were so understanding.
You knew I did not understand.
You told me never forget the lessons that are just words to you now.
There will come a time when all will be clear.
