I went into the darkness

I went into the darkness
Into the womb of fear
And what bliss it was
To be so close to you
I stepped into the icy stream
Of my tears and let the torrent
Sweep me away
And I was all the time
In your arms so warm
I was lost in the woods
I lost the trail
And yet what joy
To find you there
Picking up the thorns on the way
And leading me home
 I would fain be lost
Be lost again
For I know you are watching
Somewhere from the bird nest
Or from the million twinkling
Eyes that look down
From above
Or the hidden beauties
That bloom right under my torn
Feet as I wander lost and in pain
Or some kind soul who
Would forsake a day to
Make me smile
