The Dawn of Self

Our lives, like the cycle of  day and night follow a timeless pattern,

For many we spend our waking moments in the bright of the light,

Others spend those moments in the darkness,

But each of us does indeed have a day and night within,

We are conceived in darkness, and our soul brings us into the light

Some it seems are blinded by the brightness of the light,

They deny the darkness of conception, Feeling afraid of that part of self

For what secret does the darkness hold, what part of the self hides in those shadows

One can try and deny this existence, but in doing so we cause a wound of duality to fester within.

For those that spend their time in darkness, they fear the light for what will it expose,

What will they discover in the light, about the self,

What will happen when we finally expose those secrets of the darkness to the light?

No longer living in denial, but  finally acknowledging its existence,

It is then we begin to heal,

Our duality ends.

Standing in the darkness before dawn we can see the light begin to emerge on the horizon

In the light of the dawn

There are no shadows, and there is no blindness

We can see clearly the beauty of the creation

The darkness and the light becoming one, as we awaken to the dawn of self.
