Light In The Darkness

When I'm perplexed 
and nothings 
going right for me 
When even 
my safest thoughts 
collapse in disarray
like a house of cards 
When I've lost 
the things 
that ground me
and seem 
so sure

It’s then 
more than ever 
that I need my love 
For she feels my pain 
And yet 
when I don’t 
let her 
carry me 
through 
Pain spreads
and spoils 

The answer 
is never
sex, booze or drugs 
But rather
Glorious 
Unconditional 
Love 

Love that holds
Love that lifts
Love that is 
Light in the darkness
