Mouths Without Meaning

 

Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. 

Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that

 

Only love can do that.

Without hope, only love can do that.

 

In a dream, I was lost in the woods, and it was dark. I saw a light

trying to reach me through the trees. It looked like a distant house

on fire, or maybe too many stars for its time of night,

but I could not reach it.

 

It was a warm light, and I could feel its heat on my skin.

I felt that if I just reached out, it would be mine.

And then the light was gone, and I woke up in my bed.
