A Poem: Into My Heart of Darkness

 I found this poem I had written on a scrap of paper as I was cleaning up around my desk this morning. I wrote it the last year or two.

Into my heart of darkness

Into the darkness of my heart

I search for the Light of God

What is true in this abyss?

I love God, I love, I,  love

That does not go away

All my stuff, all my foibles

All my dreams

They pass and are burned

In this pain, in this heat

In the center of my suffering heart

But I love, oh God

And I don't even know what that means

But it abides this love

The light of a billion suns burns through

The tears of a creation that forgot

that churns and swirls

And is born and dies

And is as real and as solid as nothing can be

forsake me not, lest I forget

But even in my forgetting...

I am

I bow my head

It is too much

I dissolve

I am
