Dark

I had to share these heartfelt words from my friend Sandi...


Dark

It's dark in here

this place I know

not cold

not warm

just dark

then empty.

Most people think empty feels cold

but it doesn't

if it were cold it wouldn't be empty

empty is just that

empty.

And sometimes

It feel better that way

but just for a moment

a very brief moment

then comes the longing for warmth

for touch

for something.

Even coldness is then welcome

because it's something.

It's cold in here

cold and dark

no longer empty

this is where hope is born

in the cold

where I pray I have the strength

to await the warmth

that grows

from hope.
