WHEN JOY COMES In The Light Of Love When joy comes, I am lifted by its Upward rising power— Just like a bird Soaring on unseen, But o so sweet, winds. I may Not know, but I do experience The purpose of life— I see It's beautiful simplicity When I tune myself to the Source of all that lives and Joy floods my soul. When darkness comes And I fall under it’s spell, I forget what’s true and For a time, I believe it’s mirage Of unreal dark delusions… When darkness rolls in With inner clouds and rain Like a thunderstorm, My vision is distorted By fear and pain And I lose sight of What a privilege It is to simply be alive… Tumbling in darkness is so Painful and frightening that, Like a bird battered by the storm In flight, I yearn to return to the Safety, certainty and love Of my soul’s inner light. Like the earth I live on, I still pass through cycles Of night and day, Day and night, But I never forget That life is a journey In learning how to live In eternal joy and freedom From all suffering— Yearning for answers, But wrapped in mysteries, Touched by darkness But always lifted back up Into the light by the Power of love and joy— Always looking for that Part of me that is ever Awake and always knows The liberating truth.
