Closer To Fine
Darkness engulfs my lone soul,
Like a big black gaping hole,
Falling deeper and deeper,
Like an unending creeper
Into the bottomless pit
Of dank depression, I quit,
"I am fine", I answer all,
But in dead despair, I crawl,
Lost in labyrinthine mind,
Elusive light, will I find?
Doubts nag, fears overcome me,
Tenebrous mirage, I see,
Spiralling down to a chasm,
Hope is a far off phantasm,
Caliginous courage lost,
This void feeling does exhaust,
These clouds will soon pass, they say,
Broken, on my knees, I pray,
"Lord, lift me up, give me peace,
Tantalizing turmoil cease"
Tears run down like a river,
Peace enfolds as I shiver,
Prayer answered, darkness gone,
I spy the light of the dawn,
Healed purely by grace divine,
Now, I am closer to fine.
