Reflective poem

How can I allow silence to enter my soul? 

Let serenity enter
with the language of questioning.
How can I allow light to enter the places, dim and dark? 
Let the beams shake my fears, 
Tossing me in elation, 
As I struggle to stand upright.
How can I allow solitude to take over me? 
Let the solitude awaken in me, 
the wonders of introspection, 
So I pause in my trails to let a shudder
pass through my bones.
 
How can I allow an agony to shake my being? 
Let the agony break me
till I meet myself eye to eye, 
and learn to dance in a drunken ecstasy.
How can I remain centered at the clap of thunder? 
Let the rumble turn
every unmet dream and desire, 
into a search for the otherworldly gold.
Above all, 
How can I remain human? 
Let me not descend to the depths
Of savagery and inhumanity....
