Awareness/ EDIT Step into the Light '

Around me
daffodils and crocuses spring up
amongst the newly fresh grass
as each step forward
creates new ground
to stand on.

Ahead I see only darkness.

Yet stepping forward
flowering trees emerge
from the soft earth
into the surrounding light,
under a steel blue sky still cold
from the fear of dark nothing,
the abyss of not-yet
that is
waiting for me.

You say,
Step into the light.
It is light you step on,
even darkness
and empty ahead.

Please send me the
courage to continue!

And somewhere a deep gong sounds.

Dropping through the night
a water dropp from a long white crystal,
into a still pitch black pool.

A small fluting splash sounds,
swells out, spreading through the cavern
calling to the whole round planet
becoming now a bronze gong,
a great sounding creative overtone.

You ask,
~ Can you hear it?
Can you step on
this sounding light?
Can you step onto
my back
that will carry you
into a new future? ~
