Out of the Cave
2007-01-15

I stood there, in the total dark,
my heart beating loudly,
head pounding and racing away,
and tears streaming from my eyes.

the dark fills my body,
the weight holds me down,
and i know that wrong
has come to pass by me.

i don't know any lower,
this must be the bottom,
and so, i look up,
and as the tears stream down my face,

as the darkness holds me,
my souls climbs to the light,
and i know a true love,
a pure unconditional love.

this light is the love,
and it raises me,
higher than the clouds above,
and the darkness is no more.

James O. Stewart
