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