Purging the darkness out
Fighting back the void of night
Left with a hole so full of blight
Walking a path through a tunnel ahead
Towards the end and freedom’s stay
Often stumbling and falling to the ground
Arms of darkness trying to pull me back down
Trail ahead fraught with danger
Fighting furiously to save my soul
Alone I’m left lost to despair
Needing the help of the one who has conquered death
Pull me close oh Lord, fill me with your might
Lead my path ahead into your light

Again you make me blush. I only took up writing in September. Never did any writing except some letters and papers in College. Thank you so much for your kind words.

For me it is natural to write this way – it is the same for you – it is a gift I think 😉
