Y.. A Deep Valley

A valley, unfathomably deep It's dark, it's cold; bitter tears I weep Is there a way up, is there a way out? Should I be quiet or just start to shout? I'm lost in the labyrinth of being worried Engulfed in self pity I am almost buried Monstrous dinosaurs of hatred surround me My ego's nasty revenge has not yet found thee I want to get out at any cost The more I fume, the more I am lost A hopeless jungle of feeling bad The situation just drives me mad Until finally, I come across the path of love Leading to somewhere high above A path created by wisdom of Saints It seems to be free of all restraints I start to follow this path of unconditional love, Away from this valley, I want so much to get out of Worry and hatred are left behind Bye, deep valley, I have freed my mind -- Note: This poem is about one hour or so I spent in nature in solitude soon after a very disheartening verbal encounter with one of my teenage sons whom I love soooo much. Really, love is our God's way......
