“This Too Shall Pass”

“This Too Shall Pass”

i stood in the semi dark night

and i watched the Moon’s soft bathing light

slowly become obscured from my sight

i did not panic

for in my truth

i knew that it would return

it was not my Hopes

it was the knowing

and the past experiences

and i was resolute

in the Faith of it’s deliverance

so be it with man

we are a light

fixed upon the Skys of Creation

though Clouds may Come

Clouds shall pass

but our light still yet endures

and as the Moon

it was not the seeking of my Heart’s desires

that brought back the light

of these fires of love

i had for this soft Moon Light

which caressed my dreams

and my visions of what was to come

Patience did not quicken the action

the fact simply was

and is

that Clouds do pass

i often think of the times

when i could not wait

and as i moved

seeking the light

in my night

i ran to and fro

rejecting what i now know

it was i who maintained the alignment

of my obscurity

with a certain surety

for i kept the clouds

betwixt me and my light

and my nights endured

that much longer

so this night

this moment

in stillness i stand

and in the knowing

life is showing me

this simple truth of all things

“This Too Shall Pass”
