Christopher Hansard:[ Stop and See]

When troubles come to meet you

and you feel alone in the inner night

and the world is upside down

stop and see the darkness

and know that in every night

a sun will rise and stars will leave their blessings

just before the Dawn

the magic of the inner change is

to be found in that inner time

when dawn’s first light

illuminates the

contours of the soul

and your psyche

stretches from its sleep

and looks towards the light

and breathes in

the rejuvenating force of change

Stop and see the darkness

it is never there for long

the fear within you

garners time and weaves

it into belief

stop and see the darkness

it is

illusory

changing

evolving

towards

light
