The wretchedness of my soul
Cries out in pain
Despondent in the Darkness,
Seeing nothing but a bleak hole
As a heart--Torn.
In anguish I seek answers.
Is there anything to fill this black abyss?
Is all sought hopeless
And bringing unfulfillment,
To arrive only at more desperation for a cure?
The storm clouds thunder
Lightning tearing apart the night sky
As if the sun had reappeared for a split second
Before remembering the Ruler of Night.
Should I fear?
--But I hesitate
As a single drop of silver rain
Pierces the shield around my heart,
And I feel my life blood pulse
A beat, then another.
A sense of knowing overcomes me
And I live again.
Doom is conquered
By His foe--the eternal, all-powerful Light.
God of All.
