Learning process

Out of the darkness

Out of the fears

Crawling up toward the light.

Startled

Returning to the darkness

Struggling, weighing the thought

Exposing my face to the naked truth

There is nowhere to run

There is only acceptance.

A creeping darkness

A word, a glance, forgetting

Covering my eyes, afraid

Peeking out, in awe

Time and again, the circle of wondering returns:

Who am I?

What am I worth?

Sometimes the light takes over, sometimes the dark

The circle grows and expands

And the times change and stretch

From state to state, forgetting what was, swallowed into the now.

So, what now?

I am the light itself

I am the glowing spark.
