In The Darkness
 
When the stygian darkness surrounding you
seems so thick you can cut it with a knife,
you cry out in your desperation,
wondering what has happened to your life.
 
Your words echoing in the darkness
soon fade into the silent void.
No voice calls back an answer...
has your cry even been heard?
 
You continue stumbling forward...
is something, anything out there?
Does no one hear you calling...
isn’t there anyone who cares?
 
Then words penetrate the darkness,
so quiet you must strain to hear.
A Voice is sweetly calling...
and It seems to be drawing near.
 
With a blink of your weary eyes,
the Voice has become Light...
Light shining in the darkness
guiding you toward new life.
 
Now the Light is shining brightly
and the Voice has become quite loud,
Calling you out of the darkness,
to live in the Light with God!
