Greetings from Ontario, Canada

I’m an SA member living in Sudbury, Ontario (Canada). Here in Sudbury, we have a large group of SA members who meet every Monday and Friday. One day I wrote a poem, expressing my gratitude for the members of my group. Long after I wrote it, an SA friend told me the poem had blessed her. She suggested I submit it to ESSAY. My Higher Power reminds me that when he has me do something, I may not know the reason for years to come.

If you are ever visiting Sudbury, please look us up. Visiting SA members are always welcome!

Darkness Falls

Fear is my God,
Fear is my Creator,
I am in Darkness,
I cannot dream.

On my own, all alone, I am scared.
There are no others, no people all around.
They cannot see “me.”
It is Dark! Please…Help me.

Hey There! I am here. To give you HOPE.
I see you. Come this way. There is a Dream.
I see inside you. What is that I see??
Is that hope?

People gather to help each other. Darkness lifts as I draw strength with others.
I imagine a path of many colors.
I take a chance to Hope, just a little.
I still “FEAR.” I’m still scared.
But wait. I hear you.
I am Love. I am OK. I am One.

People gather and support and love each other.
I still fear, and do it anyway.
The Darkness is still there. That’s okay.
Thank you Darkness, Depression and Aloneness. But today I will walk another way.
Thank you Darkness of the Soul, for without you I cannot know the light that flows.
