Sometimes You Do

Sometimes you do want to, need to,
let go of the light,
sink in the night and dream.
The brightest of dreams
wake up when you sink.
Dreams that stare you vacantly
in the dark are the signs
that you are waking up
to the light
that is all your own,
neither taken, nor borrowed,
neither given, nor extracted.

The light comes from the soul trampled underfoot
the weeds and the seeds
both together
and yet the seeds have the temerity
to raise their heads and move towards light,
your own light.
