Alone In the Dark

Alone in the dark
a place without limits
mind begins to attack    
just like Nimitz.

Alone in the dark
where fear is known
no place to hide 
chills to the bone.

Alone in the dark
something makes a noise
jumping from within
appearing to be poise.

Alone in the dark
in the midst of the night
remember this verse
“I am the way, the truth, and the light.”

Alone in the dark
doesn’t scare my Lord
for he stands beside me
and my faith is restored. 

Alone in the dark
no need to be afraid
a peace begins to fill
as the fear begins to fade.

Alone in the dark
has now become my home
for my Lord walks beside me
wherever I may roam.

Alone in the dark
now gives me peace
I can meditate on him
as the world begins to cease.

Alone in the dark
waiting for the day,
for I dwell in thee
the light is on the way
