Light Within

Light and dark, for me worlds apart

Like yore living torn in heaven and hell 

Life a blessing and death divine dart 

Inherited long, the ages did proudly tell 

I, too, thought and sought for inner light 

Traverse the globe and its every part 

But I find in heart always dwells the night  

Listen, gently pervades the gloomy art 

Darkness whispers to the glowing flame

‘Its absolutely me that makes you bright’ 

‘That’s true’, light replies and thanks its claim

‘You pervading divine and I mere your sight!’
