Still on

There are silverlinings ,
a hundred thousand of them ,
the lights around are white and bright ,
there is a splendor in the garden
rich in colors , fragrances beyond words ,
yet , my friend ,
the heart of the soul is still dark ,
the color of the clouds is still gray ,
bordering on dark ,
the search for true meaning
is thankfully still on ,
the soul still waits to connect
all the dark corners of the world
before turning the bright lights on ,
the wait is still on ,
thankfully .
