The Nest

"climb inside the darkness to sing"
 I'm no longer seeing darkness
as a metaphor for awful.
Darkness is rather, a metaphor
for what is unknown,
for what we can't yet see.
It speaks to mystery and uncertainty.
It can be a place of great pain and
 contain exquisite beauty.
It can be a place of loneliness
and a land of intimate friendship.
It frightens us as it enlivens us.
It calls us forth while
taking us to the depths.
Befriending darkness
adds new dimension to 
our tiny places
and moves us into 
spaciousness and generosity.
