Valley

Walking through the valley

In the shadows of all past

Thought, hurt, journeying

It is cold here and the play

In light and shadow brings

Awe a comfort of sorts 

Because in between the pass

Is the strength to continue

Pressing ever forward on the

Leaves of doubt, despair, mixed

With the dappled light of suspension

Falling lightly into the arms of wonder

Reminders of love that bears us

Through the darkening times

Bringing afresh the cool awakening

Praying for the relief of the 

Full light of day
