Dare You Seek?

2 December 2011

Dare you seek the dark corner of the human soul?
  Hold it in your hands, embrace it in your arms?
  Allow it to be its full lusty, arrogant, frightened self?

Or is it forever destined to be locked tightly behind the doors
  of 'socially appropriate' new age truisms?

Dare you suspend notions of 'right' and 'should be'
  to allow what is,
  to taste, to feel, to honor
  the darkness that shares your soul?

For in that darkness lie the seeds of your growth,
  the promise of your transcendence
  from that which you are
  into
  that which you can be.

Touch the black.
  Suspend judgment.
  Fill the empty space with love and honor
  of all that you are.
