Love Poem: Darkest Hours

Darkest Hours

I've travelled down life's deepest, darkest holes

Been through things where you can't be consoled

Shed enough tears for a thousand lifetimes

Spat enough anger which left me blind

Vehemence and blame for everything else

Made me feel I thought better in myself

But I was deluded and I could not see

I had to take responsibility for me

I had to walk the existential path

Had to find the spiritual light in the dark

I had to find my way back to me

And accept accountability

For a life so harsh that knocked me down on my knees

But rather now than having my head in my hands

I gaze up and pay homage to creation

And live in love.
