When Darkness Meets the Light
In the night they come
for you. Creeping in, gathering
about your bed and
in the shadowy corners
of your mind
these anxious thoughts
of what could go wrong
of worst-case scenarios and
fears of what the day might bring.
Pressing in, stealing
sleep and solace.
Planting worry
growing dread
harvesting fear.
And I hear God whisper,
“I have overcome
all the works of darkness.
Hold fast to what I have done.
