All Will Be Fine
I enter a cave of somber gray
feeling despondent and in dire straits.
For in this cavern night swallows day
and in its bowels my fate awaits.
Ravenous shadows consume color
giving black a sense of completeness.
And darkness pours forth like molasses
a syrup of ebony sweetness.
Stumbling blind I approach an abyss
oblivion's just inches away.
Yet fear’s subordinate and silent
a mere observer, voiceless today.
A bright light flashes before my eyes
and hesitation backs me away.
For although I can't see anything
some phenomenon caused that display.
Doubt relentlessly tests my resolve
explaining the reasons I seek death.
Yet light pierced the walls of this cave
and a feeling of hope steals my breath.
Faith penetrates my fog of despair
guiding me to recognize God’s sign.
And I cling to His loving embrace
feeling in my heart, all will be fine.
