Midway upon the journey of our life,

I found myself within a forest dark, for the straightforward pathway had been lost.

If I was taller I’d lift you to the topmost branch of the tallest tree in the highest forest to show you how close the sky is to the ground, because I think if you knew, you’d know that you are no stranger here, that your soul may feel small and weak, but there are stars and planets and galaxies swirling within reach, and though the clouds may hide them, and the dark obscure them, they still exist, burning without end, because they have a light. And it’s theirs.
