Member Poem

Seeking to know the meaning of today,
I shouldn’t only be chauffeured along its way,
In the tranquil of my mind,
This meaning I hope to find.

My sister called me,
She told me about someone who was in a deep sea,
Now eased into the night,
After a brief tempestuous fight.

My mother told me about her struggles,
Of how she strived with unseen troubles,
She eventually defeated her monsters,
She called them dark robbers.

I have searched the sacred book,
I have sat by its serene brook,
In part I still know,
In, this understanding, I flow.

The meaning of everything is a cloaked light,
It’s an unreached height,
We only understand what abides in the room,
Though sometimes we’re obscured by its gloom.
