Divine Madness II

There is a divine madness,

a searching for life's answers.



It drives these thoughts, these words

from the corners of my soul.

Forcing me to think of fate

and the inequality it holds.



The reasons for these hardships,

define the meaning of our lives.



There is but one way into this world

and one way to the heavens above.

Between both awaits a full life

of hope and pain, loss and love.



And we stare blindly at the abyss

knowing someday we will reside there.



Dark as night in the desert,

and as cold as the naked ground.

What exists is this nightfall

with the blackness all around.



We fear the deep darkness

which we cannot comprehend.



So turn away from the night

towards what you know to be true.

Live as if you were a light

shining for others to view.



All we can do is trust

in what we do here and now.



Trust in your heart to do right

and hold those you love close by.

but don't shut out the others,

when you haven't looked through eyes.



Trust in ourselves to live,

to find love, and to embrace it.



Follow your conscience, your soul

in everything that you do.

Love is that which fosters joy

in those all around you.



To live in love with one another

and with the world that surrounds us.
