Veiled Shadows

Implanted in the deepest dark, a darkness resides. Taunting, tormenting sculpting my soul The dejection carved a life left incomplete, With hope urging me to retreat. The penumbra urges me to put an end to my distress Deeply embedded from birth to the hopes of my death. I was swiftly nearing the end of my rope. Desperation clawing at my soul. I cried out to that name that gave others hope. “JESUS!!” I bawled, my heart drowning in tears. Unexpectedly, a significant presence appeared, Enveloped by a radiant celestial glow. With a voice that resonated like a thunderbolt, he spoke. “I am the truth and the light. I have died for you, sacrificing myself to give you life.” As the enemy’s stronghold tightened its grip, The situation became more dire as I continually slipped. I couldn’t accept God’s words; I could not comprehend. Sadness and pain were my constant companions. Always by my side a personal assassin. As I teetered on the edge of a dark abyss. Suffocating my joy; hindering my bliss. The voice of Divinity, never giving up, His spirit poured into me like a flood. He embraced me nevertheless and held me tight. I felt safe as the enemy’s grip lost its might. Whispering, I asked, “Who are you? That you give me a life to choose?” With a simple reply, he said, “I Am the I Am.” Reject the lies and embrace the truth. Finally, responding to God’s call, Surrendering, I discovered a declining wall A surge of divine light filled my soul. Transforming my sorrow. Making me whole.
