Your clouds of doubt obscure the sun of your love As if a diamond still encased in coal, Its rays of light unable to penetrate The density of its dark surround, Unless love grow in strength the tests to stand Of all the hostile forces that deny, Or hope is lost and we are left alone As on a bridge that leads to the unknown, A sad humanity devoid of grace Unknowing that the truth within each soul Can shatter darkness and release to light, The golden resident within this shell We call the ‘self' unaware of who we are. “Go deeper” once a voice said to me For we in heroic struggle are not alone, To live in radiance is why we came And why we persevere against the tides Of hopelessness, mistrust and enmity That wash upon the shores of consciousness. If you would once refuse the siren call Of voices that assault your mind and heart You would be free and in that freedom find A comrade soul who stayed throughout the storm, A steadfast friend and anchor in the sea Of all misgivings, the depths of all despair, Safe harbour and the beacon to the land Where kindred spirits meet in harmony.
