The Cave<\/strong><\/p>\n

I can\u2019t believe
\nit has taken
\nthree-score-and-ten
\nyears to
\nfind
\nthe entrance
\nto the Cave
\nthat contains
\nThe Treasure.<\/p>\n

I suppose it\u2019s
\nthe darkness,
\nbut lately
\na Light
\nhas been
\nglimmering.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s the pure Light
\nof Being, of
\nI Am,
\nwhich turns out
\nto Be
\nthe only Light
\nI need.<\/p>\n

It has shone
\nforever,
\nand can never
\nbe extinguished.<\/p>\n

From what I
\ncan now see,
\nthe Cave
\nis filled with
\neverything I\u2019ve
\navoided, resisted, denied;
\nput off to vague
\nand lazy
\ntomorrows
\nI hoped would
\nnever come.<\/p>\n

I am beginning
\nto believe that
\nif I shine the
\nLight of Being
\non the contents of
\nthe Cave,<\/p>\n

if I pull them
\nout into
\nthe gleam of
\nLove,
\nfor Being
\nexactly what
\nthey are,<\/p>\n

I may discover
\nthey are
\nthe stuff of
\nArt.<\/p>\n
