Dark River That Sought To Flood

Dark River That Sought To Flood I tamed the dark river that sought to flood spreading darkness invading my blood Battles raged for years every painful night no victory ever won that dark fight Tried to forget by being lost into my lust a folly that gave all so much grief Years passed before my learning what I must find only source could give relief A death leaped out into my sad, wicked life a healing gift sent from high above Healing to overcome all sadness and strife mercy gifted from God's sweet love Years have now passed into time's eternal realm I thank divine mercy that removed "Me" from the helm!
