"Get on board, get on board, can't you see her coming down the line, take faith hope and charity with you, and leave all the rest behind, Get on board, get on board, she won't stop here too long... You'll be half way home to heaven, Before the Devil knows you're gone!" Lyrical Chorus from A Gospel Song written in the 80's by A Group called "Bonnie Casey and Daystar"

Dark Days I see bright purple lights I know he is here He has something for me I pay attention with no fear I see a tunnel I do not want to go in He beckons me forward This race I must win I drift through the darkness Never seems to end I feel intense panic There's no light round the bend Still urged further onward Pitch is all my eyes can see Searching for that light Please, Please, is my plea! Suddenly at the end Of this endless black I behold deep green grass No sign of a track It's not making sense It's supposed to be light What's with the grass Then my journey takes flight Outside the tunnel Back to the entrance I sit atop a train My mind is in remembrance Of what the ole train ride means Metaphorically speaking Celestial homecoming After sorrow's reeking No matter what angle It all looks the same This way and that way The message is plain I've been through the Dark Days Come out into grass Peace is it's meaning Now I know it's no farce Still that entrance is close I can reach out and touch it I know it's a coming Though I need not have a fit Hold on to the carriage We are going on through Dark days on the inside Though at the end.... Tis all brand new. Ch'erie de Perrott Copyright 2005

Why is it that the light at the end of the tunnel turns out to be an oncoming train?

Once we realize that we must pull oursleves into the light, our lives can get on track and we can achieve our dreams. It is always darkest before the dawn, and I believe that very contrast allows us to appreciate all that the light brings to us. Life is a series of yins and yangs and we cannot have one without the other; it is all about balance and finding the goodness in all things. It is not until we accept and forgive the darkness that we can live within the light Excellent write, Ch'eries.

Take care,

Sherry

Oh Ch'erie this is wonderful and offers so much hope to those of us who are just a little frighteened as to what lies ahead. It is not easy to know our time is so short and not know for certain what lies ahead but this poem for me at least offers a little ray of hope. Thank you,
