“Do not let darkness mask the inner beauty that inspires creation.”
A dim spark lays dormant,
Awaiting nurturing to bloom,
Yet I remain complacently unaware,
Of the darkness starting to loom.
If only the signs were obvious,
Vivid colors looking pale,
Lively music sounding flat,
Delicious food tasting stale.
How does one become aware?
How does one find joy in life?
How does one motivate the self,
To still create in spite of strife?
Mirrors showing faces no longer known,
”Is this really me?” I inquire within,
Yet all that remains is silence,
As my echoing voice spreads thin.
I start listening to my body,
I pay attention to how I feel,
I fully embrace the darkness,
I now understand what is real.
After long rejuvenating rest,
The sleeping spark awakens too,
A soothing voice whispers gently,
”You are enough and have nothing to prove.”
your support is appreciated :)
