DARKNESS FLEES
The light shines through you, even
Days when clouds obscure my vision
Of who you are...the rim of light
At darkness' edge assures me of
A hope that lies beyond the grave,
As the SUN comes out to dry the
Earth and dry my soul from this dark
Deluge...mistakenly allowed
My mind to falter there, but only
For an instant. YOU make all things
New, filled with light and promise ---
As darkness flees!
