Beyond The Darkness

There will always

Be moonlight in

The darkness.

And the stars

Shall be the

Specks of dust

That roam to

Guide our paths.

With that, we

Should always

Trust that the

Light of hope

Shines forever.

-c.j. dexter

†There is a whole we must find. How deep are we willing to go to see nothing but darkness around us? More importantly, how long are we willing to stand in that darkness? But many are afraid of the terrors that could creep upon them. Their fears and worries seem to become visible in the dark. All those things come at once as they call out for the brightest light to save them from their hidden reality. They have fed their fears , now, it comes time to face them, but the light has ebbed from the room. How are they going to make it? For their dimming season has come as they weep through the night’s darkness. They dare not look up. What if their fears are standing there waiting to look into their eyes?

But somewhere, my friends, courage must take her place. With just an inch of such boldness left within, we look up to see the glowing radiance of the moon and a kingdom of stars dwell around it. For in the vastness of the night skies therein lies a shining light, guiding the waves of the sea and from a beam of moonlight, we know there is a spark of hope. With all expectancy, morning shall rise again. And though our terrors were once known during dark hours, the rising light shall shine ever so brightly. Weeping may endureth for a night but joy cometh in the morning. My friends, morning is here. We have been made whole. †
