THE POWER OF PURE LOVE To Save Us From The Dying Of The Light “What will happen to this world If we all keep on trying to live With our eyes and hearts Tightly closed in a drought of love?” I do not know where this Grief comes from that is Tearing at my heart so intensely That my body shakes with heartache As tears flood down my cheeks Like rain, lightning and thunder. There is so much good in this world And in the hearts of people who Are doing their very best to be Living a life worth living even when Their burdens are so great that every day Is a journey through realms of pain. I must be tapping into the well of Grief we all are carrying deep inside, So carefully hidden even from ourselves As the fire burns, as the wheel turns, as Each one of us strives to overcome and Heal ourselves before the dying of the light. I know that I will always choose To care, even when my own heart is Breaking to feel the painful woes That burn in lonely hearts everywhere Because if we all turn away in Trying not to see, to bury or forget Then the healing power of pure love Which is our one and only salvation Cannot flow where it needs to go And all the beauty and the goodness We carry unseen inside will rust away And we and our world will wither in A drought of love and dying of the light.
