Treading lightly upon a faint path, trying to find my way.
It is oh so very dark, but for the colors of purple and blue mixed into the trees.
I believe I am dreaming, but I am wide awake, alert and aware of my surroundings.
I am alone, so very alone in this dark forest.
It is an enchanted forest, for I can hear the wind and trees speak to me.
They whisper secrets of the Universe into my deafened ears.
I do not want to believe what they tell me, because it causes my senses to be too aware.
I try to wake myself, by shaking myself in spirit, yet, I stay asleep, deep into the forest of my dreams.
I find myself off of the path, the path was so neglected, and it had started to fade.
I was miles and miles away from my path, that I was supposed to follow.
I found myself sitting under a tree, that whispered melancholy songs into my heart.
Songs of sadness, songs of grief, songs of loss.
I asked with a thought in my mind, no vocalized words to be found, I asked, "What is the use of all this pain?"
A thought imprinted itself into my mind....
This pain is what makes you whole.
and another...
This pain is necessary.
and another...
The pain you all feel, is a catalyst, to urge you to love through all things.
Loving people who are good to you, is an easy thing to do.
Loving and being kind when times are good, is an easy thing to do.
Those who continue to love through pain and hardships, are truly the True Lovers of the World.
I smiled and rose to my feet, and searched with all of my being, for the path that was meant for me.
I am still on that path in that lovely dark forest, that forest represents my soul.
Darkness fills my soul, but the Light of Love that shines on me, turns the dark trees, into a colorful enchanted forest.
The path, the forest, is my life.
Darkness makes me seek ,The Light of Love.

Who wants to be guided by darkness? I surely don't.

darkness and light both guide us...we are all directed by the good and the bad inside our thoughts. and the bad can put us in the path of something perfect. all things work together for good, right? beautiful writing, difficult. just beautiful.

Darkness and Light are both necessary,
we learn from both of them, they are the opposites in our souls, where without one, the other would not exist.
All things work together for good, for those who love God.
Peace.

Whether you like it or not, darkness does guide you, without the darkness, the light would have no meaning.
Through the darkest times in my life, where life was full of grief, and emotional pain, that was the time, where my character was formed for the better.

There was only one path.
Lost is only one way to look at it.
Being lost, means never being found.
Never have I been lost, being on my own, made me realize, that there is no place I would rather be, than on that path.

I have to disagree. Darkness may be pesent at times in my life. But it never "guides" me. Jesus is my way truth and life and in him is no darkness. You don't need to go through emotional pain to build character. That may be your story, but it surely is not mine.

We must weather the storms, but always keep an eye open so that we can see the lighthouse. It is always there for us.
I believe in our darkest moments we gain our most strength.
What does not kill us will only make us stronger.
You once again can tell it the way I am feeling it!
Great post

Maybe you should look at Jesus's life a little bit closer.
He sat on the hill top crying in sorrow, and pain, for the world's condition around him.
He also cried tears of blood, as he wept on the cross, as the darkness enveloped him in death.
Jesus Christ is the light, and his days on this earth were some of the darkest days that were ever written about.
In his darkness he overcame and conquered death.
You totally missed the whole point of this spiritual prose.
I am not here to make you agree with me, I am here to share my truth, not to relay religion, which is a dead man's interpretation of Scripture.
I have my own interpretation, and I believe Christ the Light, let us experience darkness, to build our character.
Religion tends to make us think in a closed box.
Peace.

Dark and hard times in life does make us seek light.
I am most thankful for the hard times I have been through, they have made me soul search, and in that, I have found out what I am really made of.
Hard times, have made me stronger.
We can always chat here in private messages.
Feel free to drop me one.
Peace.

Some of the nicest and most compassionate people that I have met in this world, have been people who have been through Hell on earth.
This is not always true, because some let pain make them bitter, or even come to an early demise at their own hands.
I am speaking of those, that let Love shine through their pain and let it make them grateful for the good that comes into their lives.
You have done this friend.
You let emotional pain create a kind and compassionate heart in you.
That is true art!

I would like to compare the darkness and the light, with hunger and a satisfied stomach.
Being hungry makes us seek out food.
Being immersed in darkness, makes us seek for that lighthouse.
Even after the sun sets in the evening, the darkness always comes.
Just as the sun rises, the morning always comes.
Life is a cycle of days and nights.
Peace.

Difficultsoul I must say I agree with you about Religion, I see here in the blogs that people tend to get Religion and Spiritual confused.
Religion teaches us judgement and fear,being spiritual is all about unconditional love.
Thank you for your stand on this!

Yes I am well aware of Jesus and the sorrow and pain he felt of what he was about to go through and while he was going throgh it. My point I stress is darkness did and does not guide him nor I. Simple as that.

Well let me make myself clear then, to all religious people.
I am not religious.
I was religious for most of my life, and I found no peace in living off of a dead man's faith.
Scripture itself says to seek the truth on our own, and let God be our teacher.
He taught me my best lessons through the dark nights of my soul.
He taught me about the light in my darkness.
He taught me about love, in my hateful attitudes in life.
He taught me about laughter through my tears.
Religion is dead.
Religion is for those who refuse to think for themselves, and refuse to seek truth on their own.
Religion is a dead man's take on Scripture.
I live and breathe Scripture, and everything I write is inspired from it.
Jesus's enemies on this earth, when he walked upon it, were the Pharisees, the RELIGIOUS leaders.
They are the ones who killed him.
Religion causes wars, and arguments.
I am not here to argue with anyone.
I am here for my own satisfaction, the satisfaction of sharing the truth God gave to me in my own soul.
Religion is Religion, and I need no one preaching it to me.
I could teach that line -blindfolded.
Then Scripture would be fulfilled, the BLIND leading the BLIND.
I am surely not blind, nor deaf, and that is due to following God's heart, not Religion.
Peace.

Let it go now.
You took one line of prose, and misunderstood it.
The darkness I spoke of, was not evil darkness, full of sin.
You took it as such.
The darkness I speak of is Spiritual Longing for Light.
Hmmm?
Prose is symbolic, not literal.
Just as I believe Scripture is.

I think we had a lack of communication. The reason I love your writings is because you speak the word of God without bringing Religion into it. I am a firm believer in Religion creating wars and seperation.
I grew up in a Catholic church and knew from a very early age that it did not sit right with me at all.
I feel that you are very clear on the difference between being spiritual and being Religious, I was talking about others that are confused.
I have had people think I dont believe in God because I dont believe in being religion.
I hope I cleared that up.
Bless you

I understand it perfectly.
I did not misunderstand you.
Most of what I wrote to you above, was to stop the religious argument about to start on my page, I will not stand for that, by no means.
I agree, it is hard to write what I write, because of Religion.
Most people who have a hard time with my writing are religious people.
They cannot understand that God is the most important thing in my life, because of how I call down Religion.
Religion almost killed the Love of God inside of me.
It pushed me to throw away who I really am.
God is the center of my life, and always will be.
Peace.

I did not misunderstand anything. This writing goes along well with your suicidal song you have playing... People do not to feel depths of darkness to have light.

I wasn't trying to alter faith I was stating I am not led by darkness. I was not trying to argue. These lyrics are about suicide.

This song is about whatever I want it to be about.
I have died a million deaths in spirit to be where I am today.
Without The Light of Love, I would want to be dead.
I would be lost without God's Love.
I do not want to wake up one more day without God's Love.
This song never spoke suicide to me at all.
I even hear God's prompting to live and to love in ACDC's -Hell's Bells.
I hear God's Love in all things.
What you hear is what you are listening for.
If you have ears, let them hear, if you have eyes, let them see.
I turn all songs into something about seeking God.

"Those who continue to love through pain and hardships, are truly the True Lovers of the World."
It doesn't get any truer than this, LftH. When nonbelievers ask the question, "If there is a God then why is there so much pain and suffering?", we now have a quick answer to give them. xx

Great post too DS. Love the Enchanted forest. Reminds me of a Romany Gypsy thing I was taught about how the forest, its inhabitants and how you respond to them can reveal much about you. Well done.
Namaste
