Peace Poem - The Light In Me Honors The Light In You Poem by Ellie Rakita

The Light in me honors the Light in you...
The Light in me honors the Darkness
in me...
The Darkness in me honors the Darkness
in you...
A Child in me honors a Child in you...

My longing for Love
and Recognition
Honors your longing for Love
and Recognition
My Journey honors your Journey
The Light in me honors Every
Bit of me
The Light in me honors Every
Bit of you and in everyone else
***
Some honorable freaks
Were traveling through space and time,
To accidentally bump on each other,
Fascinated by the sparkly beauty of their Light
and by some magnetic potential
shining through these sparkles,
Then freaked out seeing the depth
of the other's Darkness...
or a reflection of their own...
and bounced off each other really far away
to continue their journey
to rediscover their own Light...rather mad
at each other for reminding them
of their old wounds...

***
My reflection in your eyes
Honors
Your reflection in my eyes...

***
The Light in me honors the Light in you
The Light in you honors the Light in me...
The Light shined and shined and
the Darkness
Just got
so
bored
resisting it
and
started noticing more and more Light,
shining on it warmly from everywhere
constantly,
and it softened...
and surrendered to the Light
little by little, and
let the Light in...
the whole abundance of it,
and became the Light...
...and I smiled happily,
and the pain got melted
away and left me
...
And the Journey became bright and sparkly again...
