comes unbidden
stays too long
collapses on me
like a black cloud
on a stormy day
like a net
that catches me
and won't let go.
Where are you, Lord,
when the darkness comes?
I'm waiting
praying
immersing
in your Word.
Slowly
mercifully
Your light creeps under
gets brighter and brighter
washes my life.
In time
the blackness vanishes
and I'm left
with Your light
shining Your grace
shimmering Your love
sparkling Your joy.
Ahhh; that never ending source of Light and all that comes with it; and where morning dawns & evening fades, He calls forth songs of joy! (Psalm 65:8).
ReplyDeleteLovely thoughts!

P.S. Thank you for remembering Greg and his family in your prayers. It means so much.
Peggy, you write soooo beautifully! I feel dumb saying that every time but it's true. You have such a gift for words.
