\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The Dark Meets The Light<\/strong><\/p>\n

I was wondering about a lot of things.<\/p>\n

Life is more complicated than it seems.<\/p>\n

I started checking out secret societies<\/p>\n

It started giving me \u201d I\u201d\u00a0 disease.<\/p>\n

I checked out mystics and the dark arts.<\/p>\n

It all made my head ache & my eyes smart.<\/p>\n

I checked out new age and all it\u2019s wonders.<\/p>\n

Comparative religions and .other blunders.<\/p>\n

There was UFO\u2019s and parallel universes.<\/p>\n

Time travel and magical\u00a0 verses.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m going mad. The dark is closing in.<\/p>\n

Is there anyone who can help me from this sin?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Help me. Help me out of this dark.<\/p>\n

I feel it squeezing, stopping my heart.<\/p>\n

I can only see what\u2019s right in front of me.<\/p>\n

There must be something to set me free?<\/p>\n

Too many churches and not enough truth.<\/p>\n

Too many people. They act so aloof.<\/p>\n

Too many mountains & not enough stairs to climb.<\/p>\n

Too many secrets to learn and not enough time.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I studied more but, I learned less.<\/p>\n

So many things were only a guess.<\/p>\n

Wise men will tell you look over there.<\/p>\n

When you do it leads to nowhere.<\/p>\n

Drugs messed it up worse than they say.<\/p>\n

I tried herbs and the natural way.<\/p>\n

The answers were elusive. It didn\u2019t come.<\/p>\n

I searched and searched till I felt rum dumb.<\/p>\n

I tried crystals, message, oils,\u00a0 and yoga.<\/p>\n

None of it worked, I should have asked Yoda.<\/p>\n

Some said Indian medicine men was the way.<\/p>\n

They wouldn\u2019t give me the time of day.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Help me. Help me out of this dark.<\/p>\n

I feel it squeezing , stopping my heart.<\/p>\n

I can only see what\u2019s right in front of me.<\/p>\n

There must be something to set me free?<\/p>\n

Too many churches and not enough truth.<\/p>\n

Too many people. They act so aloof.<\/p>\n

Too many mountains & not enough stairs to climb.<\/p>\n

Too many secrets and not enough time.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I tried to meditate. To free my mind.<\/p>\n

I practiced out of body travel\u00a0 to save time.<\/p>\n

I chased rumors of aliens here on earth.<\/p>\n

I found none but, gave all I was worth.<\/p>\n

Hypnosis had nothing to offer.<\/p>\n

It was no better than the books author.<\/p>\n

Fortune tellers and tarot didn\u2019t work.<\/p>\n

Even LSD just left me to hurt.<\/p>\n

Then, late at night, as I prayed for an answer.<\/p>\n

A small quiet voice said \u201cI am the answer.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI have been here all the time.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cDon\u2019t you know you have always been mine?”<\/p>\n
