In the darkness that envelops us like an endless veil of mystery, The modern man struggles within his own shadow, a wandering soul, Reviving the echo of the lower soul, caught in Satan's snare, Not just a theological figure, but a force obstructing the light. Closed are the gates of the imaginal world, the intermediate realm, Between the sensible and...

In a state of darkness, with hatred in his heart, there traveled to Damascus with the intent to persecute Christians one named Saul. On the road,light surrounded him, blinding him. He was a witness to Christ, who admonished him. Once in Damascus, he waited until a believer, Ananias, would soon answer God’s call by laying healing hands on a man who...

We know your game And we are not going to become slaves to it We've seen you spin your lies like a spiders Web Your crimes of deceit will come back to smite you The heavens will rain down on you There is no escape from eternity Hear these words said Let them infest your head Your silence will betray you...

Come out of the darkness, stand in the light. Speak from your heart and give us insight. Don’t treat us like animals lured by honey. Saying you care and you’ll give us your money. Offer instead, a small thread of hope, A plan to slow, illegal immigration, guns, dope. Shore up our borders, build a great wall, Help the murder and theft...

Hope barely breathes its chest tight beneath the smoke as grief spreads like fire through streets that once knew laughter. Haiti, now a land of shadows where joy is muffled by gunshots and dreams lie broken on corners no longer safe to dream in. Yet still, the sun dares to rise a quiet defiance in the sky reminding us that even in ruins light remembers...

Lying still, in a dark room. It’s easy to sink into it. Let myself deflate. The room gets darker endlessly. If I step off this bed, The sounds will turn back on. So my eyes stay closed. As my toes move slightly. Don’t lie in a contorted way. Or the sounds will figure it out....

When the night is soft and shadows sigh, I gather pieces of who I've been, Underneath a silver-breathing sky— The broken heart, the fractured skin. I’ve worn the weight of wordless ache, A cloak of silence stitched by stars, Still I rise, though pathways break, Barefoot tracing memory’s scars. The moon bends low with lantern light, A silent guide for those who roam, It whispers...

Why can't I walk in the garden at night? Horrible shadows keep blurring my sight ~ They make me run like a man with no balls. Each time I trip and get bruised from my falls. These shadows whisper cold fears in my ear, Now I understand the songs sung by fear, Yet I must confront these fiery shadows, But each new...

Through dusk’s shadows they soar, flickering evening lights, flies flashing cold fire, bugs unleashing lightning, micro-luminescent, miniscule miracles. Though fainter than candles, clustered firefly flocks flash brighter than stars in summer night skies, sparking joyous wonder, fluttering till sunrise. In our darkened world, can we shine like them, glimmering in the gloom, gifting goodness and hope for all those who grieve until a new dawn? (First published in Feed the Holy, 19 March...

A nebulous horizon where old light dies, And silent Shadows from desire's mouth arise. They press against the skin, a whisper in the ear, Yet in their depths, a hidden strength appears. I face their forms, no longer bound by flight, And find my peace in the heart of endless night....

As stars close their tired eyes when darkness fades the day they slip slowly out of sight and cloud-shrouded yesterday's no more in play say goodbye to a watercolour sky the rain washed away O say can you see morning has broken raising the curtain to curtail night daily they do it that way before we've woken and all the king's horses and all the...

Night wraps me softly in her arms, Whispering secrets, weaving charms. She cradles echoes in my chest, A quiet breath, a gentle rest. Her cloak conceals my hidden scars, Each one a story traced by stars. She treads with footsteps calm and slow, Through empty halls where shadows grow. By day, she hides behind the sun, But when the world is overrun, She dons my...

A heart grown weary in silent rain, No roof to shelter, no meal to gain. No gentle voice, no hand to hold— Just aching silence, damp and cold. I left behind what broke my soul, A job that crushed what once was whole. Now I drift with nowhere near, And all I know is ache and fear. I do not seek to shame...

In the mirror's gaze, a stranger's face Eyes that once shone bright, now dim with time The weight of shadows, a heaviness that clings A heart that beats with doubt, a soul that sings A whispered lie, a voice that won't subside "You're not enough, you'll never be alright" The echoes of memories, a bittersweet refrain A longing for solace, a search...
