The Light Within

I stand alone in the darkness

This forest of emptiness surrounds me

And the sky almost threatening and starless

Yet I feel free

There is a small light regardless

Is it a lantern I see?

I walk towards it careless

I know it is I who shall be

In search of hope however godless

Quietly I spot a foreboding tree

Can nature be so heartless

That it simply cannot let me be?

The lantern light appears again harmless

It shows me there is a guarantee

In life and my inner calmness

This beacon of peaceful tranquility

The lantern is my unconscious

In all it's perfect glory
