Dark to Light

 

There was a time

When the world was dark

And the seeker could not see

Though his eyes were quite sharp

Although he wished to hear

And myriad of things he heard

Yet what was his desire

Was never to him assured

Walk the path he tried

But astray he continued to feel

For no guide he had to follow

And his heart had yet to heal

But then came the day

When the seeker was at his lowest

When his tears had long ceased

When his path was the darkest

Mercy from the Most Merciful sent

A guide for the straying traveller

A shepherd for the lost sheep

The paths were to be dark no longer

For with him the guide brought light

That brightens the most daunting trail

No more this seeker is afraid

 For he trusts this guide will not let him fail
