Surrounded by blackness
a void, empty and
drained of energy
lifeless like a soggy
piece of paper
tattered and disintegrating
Embrace the blackness for
out of the darkness
the void
the nothingness
God created the world;
within a soul’s deepest darkness
God creates new life
new energy
creative possibilities.
Engulfed by the blackness
of a turbulent storm
chaotic
out-of-control
a violent whirlpool
threatening to overwhelm
suck in and drown
Embrace the blackness for
out of the darkness
the chaos
the storm
God brought order;
into a soul’s deepest darkness
God restores order
brings peace and harmony
to an out-of-control life.
Lost in the blackness
of a silent, oppressive cave
blinded by fear
isolated by doubt
overcome by sorrow
alone, bereft
Embrace the blackness for
God gave sight
to the blind
hope and freedom
to those living in
doubt and fear
comfort to those
who mourn;
into a soul’s deepest darkness
God restores vision
brings hope
turns mourning into dancing.
Enslaved in the blackness
of a windowless cell
sins binding like shackles
anger and bitterness gnawing
away like rats in a dungeon
Embrace the blackness for
on the blackest of nights
on a dark cross
God offered forgiveness
and redemption;
within a soul’s deepest darkness
God unlocks the shackles of sin
offers love and forgiveness
sets the imprisoned soul free.
Embrace the blackness for
into the dark unknown
the void and chaos
God shown his light and
the darkness can never
extinguish that light.
