Awaken Darkness

I awake to the darkness flowing around me
All I can think is how can I flee
The shadows dancing on the wall
Watching to see if I will fall

Falling is not in the plan
But what can I do when I see the man
Its just a shadow on the wall
Growing the need I feel to call

The fear I feel grows and grows
Until all I feel is time that flows
Up it goes and the darkness is gone
The sun shining over the lawn

The will of the suns power
Pushing away the dark tower
Giving way to the joy
And making the fear your toy

Vicky Bain, we all had night terrors, or fears of shadows. They can be real, of the evil forces. The name of Jesus (as a pastor myself) can rebuke and scare away every thing not of God. Jesus walked "normal" & the demons knew Him, & pleaded for extra time. YOU HAVE OVERCOME; we are Overcomers. amen, shalom from Anil Deo (read me)
