Oh cloudy day, oh starless night

When lights are off and all is quiet

The power’s off, the chores all through

And words have left my thoughts to brew

My senses inward turn, to me

My thoughts they wander aimlessly

My weary soul has space to breath

My heart can slumber in reprieve

Peace, peace, my toils cease

I’ve energy to seek release

My past examined, fears unbound

A chance to build on solid ground!

These fleeting moments, rarely grasped

They touch upon a Truth so vast

It fills me with a guiding Light

To lead me through the darkest night

So why, when daily toils are done

And night arrives, am I the one

Who without fail will choose to fill

That precious, Holy void and will

Instead choose false, un-lasting hope

Distraction with out earthly scope

To fill the endless void within

Avoid the wrestling, choose the sin

The void is Holy, the cause is just

The darkness drawing us to trust

Not in a path or being unknown

Not in our strength which ebbs and flow

But in the Truth we’ve tested, tried

With sinful hearts we’ve opened wide

To shine the Light upon our souls

Then find “I’m worth far more than gold!”
