Lurking Darkness Sleep now my love, you have earned a great rest. It has been hard on you. It has been hard on us. There is still time left. They gave us days, you already proved them wrong. You are a warrior, equal… toe to toe with Sparta. They turned into weeks…and then months. See, “they”, the white coats know nothing. Believe me instead. “He” is listening to my words. I am praying for you! You are my very breath, to his ears… He misses nothing! We tried their game of drugs and cuts and happy days. There were really none. Sickness became the order of things. Changing our thoughts, and sweeping away the tears… left us tired, but not without hope. The very fact that we now swim with the current, knowing he is carrying us forward, has provided a depth of peace… un-achievable by pills and man made cures. Higher than healing of the heart alone, It is total and complete. I am praying for everything. I am praying for your soul. Amen.
