Darkness wins battles everyday
It destroys the weak like prey
It treats harming people as play
The weak cower in paid every day
Thrown about without any say
Stripped of hope as darkness prey
Hopeless to fight what face today
Darkness wins battles everyday
Some of darkness prey begin to pray
Hearts and souls cry to God each day
The aroma of prayer to God from prey
A sliver of light turns darkness to day
The prey look up as the light does play
Will there be justice and hope today
Darkness shrieks as it loses its prey
Darkness will lose the war everyday

From the grime and debris bricks of shame are formed one after another
Each brick is fired and burnt in the horrific heat of humiliation
One by one they are laid on a soft sandy foundation forming each layer
Each layer makes it heavier and the sinking distorts and weakens them
Guilt, fear, humiliation and shame are poor materials and they crumble
The shifting sand destroys the bricks of shame and parts fall into the sand
Keeping the wall from falling down takes effort to maintain the shame
The wall must be saved or others will see the shame hidden for so many years
The wall is a place of safety from scrutiny and a dungeon which imprisons
Will the wall collapse forming a tomb to bury all the guilt and shame
Hiding is a part of life and fear of change leads to helping support the wall
Can I get away, I must get away, but I am still behind the wall weeping

THE WORD
How can I speak without a word
Or communicate without a word
There is no thought without a word
There is no dream without a word
God expresses Himself with a Word
Through a long termed written Word
But also through a glorious living Word
Thus God expresses through His Word
I am called to devour the written word
Like honey and wafers the written word
I am called to eat the living word
In the bread and wine the living Word
It touches my heart does God’s Word
Always calling out to me God’s Word
My mind renewed by the written Word
My soul born anew by the living Word

Revealing
Looking through a dusty glass
A shiny luster more than brass
A glow that invades my sight
My vision seared by this light
I want to focus so I may see
Through the glass who may be
My eyes are forced to look away
Pushed back though I long to stay
I try again and the pain is intense
Without wanting to I must wince
The tears are not just from pain
From being withheld by sins stain
A smile is all that I can see
“You will soon be able to see”
The voice soothes my troubled soul
Though it sounds like a thunders roll
The light is felt more than seen
My heart and soul are left serene
I will wait for that blessed day
When before Him I will stay
