Presence 5: Arts That Inspire Reflection & PrayerSample

Dark to Light

Dusk,

Trying to hide me;

I run,

Shadows find me.

Darkness disperses,

I cannot escape, 

But dawn

Is on

The way.

O Light, come quickly;

Reach into the depths of me.

Darkness says

It will vacate You.

You say 

It’s making room 

For You.

Night, trying to 

Beat me

Reduce me

Kill me. 

Light, coming to

Wake me

Save me

Clean me.

I cling 

To Light.

I survive 

The night.

Dusk to dawn,

How strong the Light!

Even in darkness
