Without You

sunlight lost its shimmer, the day was cast in bitter hope was gone – silenced by the thought that the whole world was lost, adrift in a sea of doubt, darkened by the hand who made everything, everyone – all the world He was there on the cross when the light lost its glimmer there were no words, no thoughts only the fear that hesitated just a whisper beneath the secret His life on earth, His mission was nearly complete as He hung there on a tree that would be the way to come into His presence the way to find grace and forgiveness sunlight fell quiet beneath the darkness the black, obscuring even the doubt without a reflection to see through all the tears, blinked back by those who knew this man, hanging there, was the One God’s only Son – saving the world from the darkness that comes to those who never accept His love as the way to heaven, the way to make peace with God, the way to find acceptance that delivers the soul from eternity in a darkness that is the devil’s pleasure – the soul’s anguish, the darkness that is forever - deprived of His presence!
