Can you stand in the darkness

Can you stand in the darkness
Deep in the void
Can you feel the empty space around
And cherish its liberating embrace. 

Can you sit with the emptiness
And resist
The desire to be full again. 
Exploring the sharp edges 
Of your true self
Learning to love the deep black holes.  

Can you feel the empty walls of your being
Simply the thud of your heart
Giving life to the universe. 
Can you see the abandoned corners 
With stale marks 
Of the unnecessary gone
Exhaling all that is old 
Feeling death in your veins

Can you wait for a breath 
Before you start filling up again
Can you wait and feel 
For direction
For sign
For a song
To bring you back to life. 

Can you sit with the void,
This vortex of nothingness
Not taking the first step
Waiting instead
For the path to call upon you

Can you stand the darkness
Sit in the silence
Drowning in stillness
Gasping for light
And really feel
your feet on the ground
