The Light Shines Into the Darkness - Jn 1:5
The sun overtakes the night
as it rises bright in the dawn,
just as the darkness within us
could never overtake the light.
When we flip a switch light comes on
and the darkness dissipates to nothing,
just as the evil that is around us
must bow down and submit.
A true person of light inside
could never be understood by a person of darkness
because the word is the beginning
and the end,
and the light shines into the darkness
and the darkness has not understood it.
Even though we may feel like our light has been overtaken
it just means our light has decided to set.
The darkness has not won,
it is just like the night,
and soon dawn will come.
