the light below

THE LIGHT BELOW
There is light below
Down there at the bottom
Where the bad feelings go
Where our dark thoughts ramble
Where our tears fall through cracks

There is light below
Even as we hug the wall of darkness
Feeling our way from end to end
Holding our breath in anxiousness
Wishing for some kind of relief

There is light below
It shines downward
From the surface
Guiding our way back upward
Towards the warmth of the sun
