When I Lose My Grip

Two sources of light and life still abide. Know that our God holds the Sun in the sky - downright dependable, dazzling and dry. Yet Sun's light at times, the clouds seem to hide, Two sources of light and life still agree deceit and denial draw down in part curtains to cover the Son's place in my heart. The Son's light is veiled by clouds formed in me. Two sources of light and life still attest to power from God, when doubts dim the spark. His Son's light shines fast dispelling the dark, Discipline is done, dominion addressed. Two sources of light and life still alight on doldrums of dread, dismay and disease. It is God who holds on when the mind's light says goodbye and awareness takes its ease. 22 Jan 2015

Thank you, so much, William, for your generous reply and the first place rating. So glad for the opportunity to express my faith without reproach. I love the many poetic forms which use repetitive lines to emphasize a theme.
