In the Dark (a poem)

There I was,
all alone
in the Dark.

Dark covered me,
I thought I saw,
but I couldn't see.

For years the Dark

 imprisoned me,
Every pursuit was empty.

In the Dark I'd lay dying,
All was vanity,
but I kept on living.

Dark smiled at me,
Smiling back, fearfully,
until by grace I disagreed.

Again, the Dark fed me,
an avalanche of lies!

Numbing, instant, temporarily.

There I was,
all alone
in the Dark.

God in omniscience 

Steadfast in love

Let me in darkness

His purpose above.

By grace I was found,
To see His sovereignty,

Glorious splendor of true Majesty!

Blind eyes He opened,

Light unveiled my heart

To look with bright gaze 

into the dark.

There I was

He was there,

Light of dawn.

I stepped into Thee.

But the path of the righteous is like the light of dawn, which shines brighter and brighter until full day. The way of the wicked is like deep darkness; they do not know over what they stumble. 

(Proverbs 4:18-19 ESV)
