Travel On

_____________________________

You cannot see the light my dear
until the dark has made you fear
until the day is so far away
you cannot see the light.

Until the dark has made you fear
until the day is so far away
you cannot see the light
until in dark a voice you hear.

Until the day is so far away
you cannot see the light
until in dark a voice you hear
you cannot see the light quite near

You cannot see the light
until in dark a voice you hear
you cannot see the light quite near
save by the path of the night.

Until in dark a voice you hear
you cannot see the light quite near
save by the path of the night ~
when wrong can suddenly be made right

And now you've reached the dawn.

A beautiul write! I totally agree that without darkness light wont prevail! Without sorrow how will we ever know joy? I truly enjoyed this, bravo!

Hugs.

Alone in the dark, through my thoughts comfort I do seek, through my words I find peace.

This is Wonderful, the last line by itself really highlights the way you pulled from the Prophet’s poem.  Truly enjoyable and made the point in a delightful way.

Sunshine ~ quote

Until the dark has made you fear
until the day is so far away
you cannot see the light
until in dark a voice you hear.


- Kahlil Gibran pulled me through many a dark time into the light during my life, and you have taken his writing and teaching to another level here.  This is truth, for without darkness one would never know what the dawn was.  You must hear your inner voice or the voice of whichever higher power you believe in as this the key to the light and a new "dawn".  

Now, this poem I absolutely loved, (it gets the gold calligraphy and a little frame  for sure)   Can you tell I loved it?

(smiles) Oh my gosh, this is such a beautiful response to a wonderful quote! (sigh) I too believe that we can only grow and learn to share love and compassion from first feeling the pain and understanding the darkness and the sorrow and tears within it so we can relate our feelings to others and reach out with loving spirits of light and embrace the hurt. (sigh) Sooooooooo wonderfully expressed, sweet friend, we all love you so much! (kiss on cheek) I hope you had the happiest birthday yesterday! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Sunshine, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
