Lights Out

Blessings--
Lit your candles upon us!

Take away the dreams that has driven the dawn away
Pour forth your light and gather up our muffled meditations
We muse morning to night whilst curses haunt the atmosphere
Thunderous greed strikes my weary soul again
Flee from us, you loathsome creatures...now we are letting out horrifying fear
Pour down your sunlit desires and hear our hesitations,
Taken away by the nightmares-- then it's all gone

Let there be light,
God!

An awesome piece, we somehow feel lost at times then God is our saving grace.. Even though He never meant for us to be filled with worry.. I enjoyed your write David ;-) hope your Sunday is a blessed one!! - Wilma
