The realisation I had while dancing in the dark.

April 30, 2014 By Karen Main Leave a Comment

Carl Jung Quote

I felt you roll in,
Dark, menacing and fierce.
A chill in the air,
The wind whipping the trees.

Your clouds fall upon me,
This cloak heavy to wear.
The darkness surrounds me,
More than I think I can bear.

I am pulling away,
Please leave me alone.
The darkness grabs hold,
My happiness now gone.

I become lost in my thoughts,
My head heavy to hold.
My mood is so dark,
My eyes icy I am told.

You will not see this face,
I will hide from the world,
You will not see this face,
Until my lips can be curled.

You snuck up upon me,
You knocked on my door,
I will not let you stay,
I have told you before.

I will suffer a restless slumber,
You will torment me all night.
Tomorrow a new day,
I will be alright.

Overwhelming despair.
You give me a taste,
Of how life will feel,
If I stay in this space.

I have realised it is time to act,
To leave you behind.
Awaiting me now,
A bright future to find.

Farewell my dark friend,
I have felt enough now.
Farewell my dark friend,
You have been here too long.

By feeling and not fighting, almost dancing, with this profound moment of despair, I realised what needed to change.  The small and simple steps I could take to move me away from the dark and toward happiness again.

What have you discovered in the dark?
