Let hours of darkness arrive
Daylight will bid farewell
Let us answer to ourselves
This desire that can’t be quelled
No light is required
Except that from the stars
Let us feel our way
In this moment of ours

Transformation
I find myself going the wrong way
at rapid speed and I’m so preoccupied
that I miss the gap in the road before
tumbling in. Darkness surrounds me
with verve. A smooth texture is cool
under my fingertips and less frightening
than my imagination. Still, uncertainty
and fear consume me. Strength has always
been my friend. Weakness has been an
acquaintance. I rely on my friend and
ever so slowly, with fingers gripping each
little crevice, I find my way out and am
blessed to feel sunshine on my shoulders

I Ask This of You
There are times when I’ve failed you
allowing my worried mind to guide
Being led deep into the darkness
where fear would reveal its ugly head
I wish to undo negative thoughts
and faithless feelings in my heart
for I am ashamed of my weakness
where tears are mine to shed
I know you walk with me in
each day that I take a new breath
When I see the sun rise once again
I’m in awe of your loving grace
Though uncertainty lies on the path ahead
I’m not chained to these dismal ways
Will you cast forgiveness upon my soul?
With renewed trust, I hope it’s not too late

Reality’s Edge
larger than life
hovering, invasive
casting shadows
silence,
louder than
thunder’s symphony
with eyes squeezed shut
I see only papered walls
and moving silhouettes
shaking my head
I lie in beads of sweat
gripping the edge
waiting to fall
into the depths…

(Sometimes life brings challenges and we fall into darkness.
This happened to me last fall when our family received
devastating news. After time, I was able to pull out into the light again.
I wish everyone could) ♥
