Like a thief in the night
Hiding in the shadows
Loneliness stalks its prey
Those adrift, wandering
The lost, the heartbroken
Forgotten and alone
**********
Each morning a battle
To arise, greet the day
Knowing sorrow and pain
Your walking companions
Malicious, vindictive
Never leaving your side
**********
Days filled with worthlessness
Despair and apathy
Happiness forbidden
Hope and dreams excluded
Passion’s smoldering fires
Now a dying ember
**********
Living in a gray haze
Robotic existence
Going through the motions
Knowing if you do not
Inescapable chains
Darkness’s prisoner
**********
Pleading desperately
Do not forsake me God
Immerse me in your love
Shower me with your grace
Rescue me from my foe
Help me to live again
Be a VOICE shouting into the wilderness.
“CHRIST is returning!“
