Do not stare
into the glare
of the light of this world
Child --
within darkness
you may then turn blind
Instead: look inwards
to the far away Star
driving darkness from the heart
.
Moenie staar
in die węreld se lig
koud en baar
Kind --
in duisternis
word jy so verblind
Vind eerder
die Ster van ver
wat donkerte laat wyk
voor die hart se reik

This is so beautiful—I love the message of turning towards another light and starting anew from the temptations of the world. I just adore this, and I really love how it made me feel hopeful.
Thank you so much for entering this contest.

Thank you so much for the Silver in this contest ...
and for adding me as a favorite. I am intensely happy that the message brought hope to you. It was divinely intended, be assured of that. Love to you. Myra

I think what you're saying is an important lesson. We only maintain our integrity if we have some constant. No ideaology other than one created by the self can do this.

I am trusting! It is tough, but I am seeing the light :-) Simple and sweet and very powerful!
Love,

Trust is a hard one to find, but my agreement of light versus dark bearing an impact on society in whole, is complete.
I have not commented on your musings as of late, my apologies.
