A Walk In the Dark

A WALK IN THE DARK The cold wind stung my ego As my feet darted down the corridor of nowhere The bitter push whipped through my skin I slithered through the arrogant open gate I elbowed my way into the dark world Dinning with fear and pride along the streets and sidewalks The sounds of the dark drums and Strumming gongs echoed from behind Dead skulls spewing and sparkling stench water on my face While blood mixed with gin drooled from my chest Like a tidal wave over a coral reef My body shaking in a convulsing sobs Reaching a state of total darkness I fell into a painful and tortured trance The moon had already sunk in the sky I could see the gaunt solitary figure of guilt I buried my head in the mangy fear Crawling and groaning Searching for Freedom As Sand still punched between my head body and my soul, caked with fear I saw pain crawling all over my being Suddenly, Fear jerked to a stop when JESUS showed up I could feel His touch even in the deepest dark New buds of hope spring forth Illumination poked my doubt With a live coal, he touched my lips, And my eking miserable existence in the dark world turned to light Today, I walked through the balcony of light and life With head high and future assured Have you got Jesus?
