Owls and Orchids

There comes a time

When

With no warning

Up becomes down

You wonder why

You look at the sky

See the sun shining

Wispy clouds floating

Lazily across blue sky

Reflected in the ocean

Blue on blue

Without end

No beginning

No end

Wondering why

With so much blue

There is only black inside

The beating heart

Is weighed down

Tears fall

But cannot lighten the load

The sky finally darkens

Night is not falling

It’s time

Pull up the world

Hide

The dawn is coming

It always will.

“A misstep many make: they mistake darkness for meaning. They think light is easy. They think light will find a way through the crack in the door by itself. But it doesn’t – you have to open the door & let it in.”
― Melanie Gideon

Emotions and mood are influenced by many things, some so ephemeral you may even miss the triggers. The most one can do when “The Dark Night of the Soul”  (Ekhart Tolle) appears is the focus on those things which bring light and laughter, happiness and joy to the heart and soul. All things have their time and place. We cannot appreciate the light without first experiencing the dark.

For everyone I wish the brightest of days and the joy of a light spirit.
