Poem
Like the darkness We struggle to escape Comes a hopelessness, a fear Who engraves dread Across the mind, through the spirit Inside the one who fails to listen To the voice of His wisdom Fear barks orders To the inner peace Destroying the silence With winds of grief Worries so haunting They’re beyond deafening Coloring the sunlight In apprehensions so dim It almost feels like They’re blended with sin The fright fills the heart With dissuasion so real It burns up the wonder Frees the caged whispers Of light which reflect All the joy and beauty Tossed upon seas of laughter Filling minds with pleasure Promises that this worry Will become only a memory In the shadows of distress Pools of melancholy Reach out to the brokenness Of one who knows that this is Despair, dejection, discouragement Piercing the heart of life With its sword of misery Its recession into the fear That haunts, damaging even The best courage, all hope Fear lingers on the soul Of the one who knows This darkness is like death Flickers of uncertainty Raining defeat into the ears Of the one who hears All the ripples of failure Coursing through the veins Of this storm, this downpour Of disappointment, gloom Yes, it is like a looming Grimace shading the soul In trembling despair Feelings so desperate, so bleak They feel like light Can never shine bright enough To uncover the truth Fear like this is a prison But you hold the key in your thoughts Victory can be found With only one touch Of the love that falls down From the One who gives Courage to face anything Any fear, any worry, any dread He is the answer to destroying The fear that haunts the soul With its darkness and dismay This liquid fear that slithers away When love is poured out through faith In the One who brings amazing grace To teach His children to turn their face To the heavens where He awaits And will always be strength so when They pray – they find the courage To face any fear, any struggle, any worry With the love He shines down To destroy all darkness, all trouble With a love that is absolutely perfect! 1 John 4:18 King James Version 18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.
