Being The Light

A small poem that seeks to generate reflection in the reader, by reminding us that darkness and pain are natural parts of life, and that without them, we would not be able to enjoy the sweet light of day.

In the midst of darkness, there comes a little beam of light,

A perfect beacon of the most perfect hope, a ray of might,

It shines through the clouds, so ominous and grey,

And guides us through the storm, day by day, hour by hour.

The light and the storm, they dance together in perfect harmony,

A tempestuous waltz, that lasts forever,

They clash and collide, with thunder and lightning

, And leave in their wake, a world that’s frightening.

But through the chaos, there’s always a glimmer,

A shining star, that helps us remember,

That even in darkness, there’s always a way,

To find the light, and make it stay as long as it can.

The storm may rage, and the winds may violently howl,

But the light bravely shines on, with a steady growl,

It fights the darkness, with all its might,

And illuminates the path, that leads to sight.

The light and the storm, they’re two sides of a coin,

One brings destruction, the other brings joy,

But together they teach us, a lesson so true,

That without the darkness, the light would be new.

For it’s through the trials, and the struggles we face,

For the bitter pain and the cold loneliness,

That we learn to appreciate, the beauty and grace,

Of the light that shines, through the darkest night,

And helps us find, the strength to fight.

So when the storm comes, and the skies turn grey,

Remember the light, that’s not far away,

It’s there to guide you, and show you the way,

Through the tempest, to a brighter day.

And when the storm subsides, and the skies turn blue,

The light will still be there, shining through,

A reminder of the strength, that lies within,

And the power of hope, that never dims.

For the light and the storm, they’re both part of life,

And we need them both, to help us survive,

So let us embrace them, and learn from their might,

And never forget, to shine our own light.

For in a world that’s often dark and bleak,

It’s up to us, to be the light we seek,

It’s up to us, to be a lighthouse midst the storm.

To shine a path, for others to follow,

And help them find, a brighter tomorrow.

So let us be the light, in the midst of the storm,

And help others find, the courage to be strong,

For together we can weather, any tempest that comes,

And emerge on the other side, stronger and more than.

So when the storm clouds gather, and the winds begin to blow,

Let us remember, that the light will always show,

The way through the darkness, to a brighter tomorrow,

And give us the strength, to overcome any sorrow.

No pain lasts forever, and after the night, the sun comes out.

But in the end, do we really understand what is pain?

Pain, a bitter companion,

That lingers in the heart and mind,

A weight that burdens and saddens,

Leaving only misery behind.

But is it possible to erase,

This unwanted and heavy load?

Can we find a way to escape,

And let our spirits freely float?

The answer lies within ourselves,

In our determination and will,

For we have the power to heal,

And with time, the pain will still.

Let us start with a deep breath,

And let go of the hurt and pain,

We’ll fill our lungs with pure air,

And let it flow through every single vein.

As we breathe out, we’ll calmly exhale,

All the negativity that’s inside,

We’ll let go of the hurtful thoughts,

And let our souls and hearts collide.

We’ll embrace the beauty around us,

And feel the warmth of the sun,

We’ll listen to the melody of life,

And let our spirits be undone.

The pain may still linger on,

But we’ll choose not to give it space,

We’ll focus on the good things in life,

And let the light shine on our face.

We’ll fill our minds with positive thoughts,

And let them guide us through the day,

We’ll seek out the joys of living,

And let our worries fade away.

We’ll surround ourselves with love,

And let it fill us up to the brim,

We’ll bask in its warm embrace,

And let the healing begin.

For love is the ultimate remedy,

That can cure the most painful wounds,

It can fill our hearts with happiness,

And make our spirits sing with joyful tunes.

So let us erase the pain,

And let love be our guiding star,

For it has the power to heal,

And bring peace to our hearts, near and far.

Let us embrace the beauty of life,

And let it wash away our tears,

Let us hold on to the good things,

And let go of our fears.

For in the end, it’s not the pain,

But the love that we choose to keep,

That will fill our hearts with joy,

And let our souls and spirits leap.

So let us erase the pain,

And let love be our eternal flame,

For it will guide us through the night,

And bring us home again.
