Darkness and Light

Night is the worst time of the day,
Shadows creep in,
Long buried memories resurface,
All alone in the darkness of the mind.

Night is the worst time of the day,
Doubts creep in,
Questions left unanswered resurface,
All alone in the darkness of the mind.

Night is the worst time of the day,
Fears creep in,
Crippling thoughts resurface,
All alone in the darkness of the mind.

When the light comes hope returns,
Shadows disappear,
Desires for a bright future rekindled,
No longer alone in the light of God.

When the light comes hope returns,
Doubts disappear,
Certainty of love rekindled,
No longer alone in the light of God.

When the light comes hope returns,
Fear disappears,
Confidence in myself rekindled,
No longer alone in the light of God.

In darkness or light, never alone as strength is found in the love of God and my Beloved.
