Living

And at some time in your life
trying to be good
may be to stop running
and take time
(no use waiting to find it
or to kill it)
to be quiet
and discover who you are
and where you've been
uncovering layer by layer
all your dark levels--
to look at the black in yourself
and dig for the richness in it
mysterious light that comes
out of darkness
to face it
and work it into the light
instead of putting it into others
and killing them.
