Darkness We Meet Again

Alas! You dark, grotesque, vile servant of Lucifer, the antithesis of the morning star. Once again, you have sought me out and endeavored to siphon my light at the end of my tunnel. In the past, you may have thwarted my desires, cast me into purgatory, and whispered sophistry in the crevices of my mind. But NOW your machinations are no threat to me. What once was a callow mind has turned into growth over time. I have learned to see where there is no light, how to climb where there is no ladder. So do your best, you nocturnal fiend. Your reign is over; you no longer have influence over me. Now I know, good times and bad times are like tides that ebb and flow. So traverse the realms to shroud my days in night. I will say to thee, “Hello, my old friend. Do your worst, because God has bestowed upon me my own personal light, and I walk by it habitually every day and night.”

"Hello darkness my old friend, I've come to talk with you again..." Couldn't resist. Nice personification poem. I did something similar with death some years ago. May eventually repost

Now I know, good times and bad times are like tides that ebb and flow. Once you invite your Savior into your heart, the devil’s foothold finds no place…Amen!
