Into the Light

Into the Light

(another version of "Living Above Your Fears")

Living above your fears,
yet below timeless expectations.
Striving above your means,
but feel broken beyond repair.

Mornings and nights without the light
would be hopeless in rivers of lies,
but you hear a soft whisper,
“Do not give in without a fight.”

Day by day you struggle,
seeking direction,
learning and striving for truth,
carrying within seeds to bear fruit.

Your passion for life
burns as crimson delight
as you frantically search for meaning,
conquering evil in shadows of death,
and sometimes drown in deep waters of regret.

As the Light defeats darkness
your life revives into new springs.
At times, cascading down an immense abyss,
and for a few moments, it flows peacefully.

His love through the ages speaks to you softly,
sowing sonnets of love into your heart,
deep in your soul.
Your fields of dreams replenish
in the blazing rays of His brilliant glow.
