Despair

When
in your darkest hour				
you stand alone
emotionally empty
cold and dead 

When
the voice of God seems
far away, and
demons dance 
inside your head

When inky fingers 
tangled,  seeking
grab at hope and 
leave despair 

Raise your eyes, 
behold and see
there is a glow
of new beginning
in answer to your prayers
