I have a fear of the dark
a terror of things unknown
the dark shadows in the corners
make me cringe as I stroll into the past alone
into the chamber of nefarious secrets
spawned from hell to hunt my soul
across the brutal landscape of life
through every day that I see
the light of dawn obscured by insecurity
as I dig myself out of this grave of life
again and again but the dirt keeps cascading
and tumbling over slipper slopes shifting
quicksand pulling me under sucking me down
clouding my vision with total darkness
fury’s thunder in my ears ringing
as the enemies of my sanity
claw their way with swiftness
to the bell tower of my castle
storming my life in waves rolling in
sweeping away the light and breath
pitch darkness heart racing head reeling
as hands are grasping me from the blackness
pulling me into the abyss of terror once more
sublime substance invisible evil
suffocation’s finest banquet is feasting
on the soul of my broken wounded life
dragging me down as I look up always
for the light that envelopes the night
and calms my fears and doubts
with Son shining through the cracks
flooding light diffusing allows vision’s returning
gentle hands soft fleeting feather’s caress
once more relieve the fears of my undoing.

Such intense emotion, vivid, but love the comfoting message “Son shining through the cracks”.
For some reason God has allowed this kind of theme to be recurring in my life From the 60s till now and it’s been one trauma after another. It must be so that I can help carry others in similar situations. This brings great joy out of immense sorrow and I am glad. It is the only place for it cause you cannot stuff it all inside and expect to survive for very long before catastrophy strikes. Press on even if the road is long and the agony intense, even if the terror is still a vicious monster in the pitch black lurking. Press on and drag as many with you as you can in the quest for SonLight. thanks and peace
