Light Speaks
My God! My God!
∗
Do you hear me?
Darkness draws nearer.
∗
False promises
Shattered dreams
Unrequited desires.
∗
Tenacious tentacles
Stealthily intertwining
Darkness into the marrow of my soul.
Enticing me to draw closer to the abyss.
∗
Loneliness, grief, apathy
Greet me upon awakening.
Demons of hell waste no time
Jubilantly, viciously proclaiming
My soul’s death looms over the horizon.
∗
Silence darkness!
The beautiful light speaks!
Lovingly, tenderly, mercifully
Whispering into the depths of my soul,
“Never give up hope for I am here with you.”
∗
The light in the darkness
Promises to never forsake me.
Silences the lies with eternal truths.
Guides my faltering footsteps with wisdom.
∗
Untangling the tentacles of
Hopelessness and disappointment.
Healing brokenness with the balm of grace.
∗
Always attentive to my cries for help.
Faithfully rescuing me from the darkness.
∗
My God! My God!
