I can stand in the darkness
I can be consumed by the sheer heaviness of it
How it over powers and takes over
How one starts to disappear

Or I can walk tall towards and stand in the light
Letting its brilliance soothe and heal me
Letting the warmth massage my soul and body
Giving me much needed relief
Lifting me

I can stand in the darkness and be alone
No one around only silence
Where heavy clouds abound
Smothering me

Or I can stand in the light and be surrounded by love
Bathed in its beauty
Feeling free

Letting the light open and fill my heart and all corners of my life
