It is dark, I cannot see.
—Wait a bit, there will be
light.
I don’t see You, but I’ll trust.
—I made your eyes, they will adjust;
I gave you sight.
So much I see, that should not be.
—Be still and leave this all to Me;
it will be right.
I fear most to see inside of me.
—Fear not. Even there I’ll be
to drive away your night.
—No darkness is too great for Me.
This I know. It sets me free.
Toward Your light my soul
takes flight.

I like the echo effect in your poem, its speak, respond effect. Beautiful picture.

Thank you, Glenda. I appreciate knowing that you like the structure of the poem. I took that photo while my youngest son and I were walking laps around the church, discussing life.

A hymn of a poem; it would not surprise me if a musician decides to set it to music. I shall consider it my meditation this morning.

Wow, Chris. Thank you for considering it as a meditation. My son is a musician; just wondering…

What wonder you’ve wrought with these words and the image you shared. My favorite lines are ones that I need to adopt as a daily prayer (especially now).
“So much I see, that should not be.
—Be still and leave this all to Me;
it will be right.”

Thank you, Ramona – there’s a heavy truth in that first line, but I thought of Psalm 46:10 (“Be still..”)
and know that I have to keep trusting & believing. How lovely to think of it as a prayer!

I like the play you do with dialog and light in your poem. Bold and light gray letters help emphasize the never ending juxtaposition between Him and us.

I needed to be sure the reader knew who was speaking, as it reverses at the end; bolding was the last thing I did before publishing. Thank you 🙂

Wow! What a great poem for the lenten season, which invites reflection “Even there I’ll be to drive away your night…” filled with hope and encouragement, lovely!
BTW I am already picturing you at church tomorrow in your green dress!

I hadn’t even thought of this as a Lenten poem, even though this is clearly the season of Lent. So interesting… yes, dress & shamrock scarf (& St. Patrick post!) are all good to go! 😊

This is a gorgeous faith-filled piece of writing. I imagine it being read by two voices.

Thanks so much, Lisa – two voices would work so well, and I hadn’t even envisioned that or writing it the way it came out.
