Flick of a Switch

There can be no light where there is darkness.
Darkness and disease wrack the Heart, absent.
Light and noble traits beautify the Heart, present.
Actions, words and thoughts leave impressions.
Like water on rock, they carve th way of our Hearts.
Be mindful of them, their strength and direction,
keep them in check and the way is true.
Good traits are not in-born, they are influenced,
and are mimics of environment they inhabit.
Sometimes we are placed in the good, other times, the bad.
But in the end, it is our decision that the Heart follows.
Discipline yourself, physically, mentally, spiritually,
in order to remove the Darkness that tarnishes.
Like dirt, if left unattended, will pile on high.
Do not disregard it or pay it little heed, important.
Take active steps to always purify yourself, habit.
Slowly but surely, wash away the impurities that exist,
cure yourself of the many diseases that riddle your Heart,
then, and only then, CAN Light be made present.
