Like David

In the corners of my soul

I find darkness.

Deep and unnerving,

existing but not deserving

a chance to live.

For in me,

there is still light.

And as light leaves no shadow,

you, God, 

cast no darkness.

But human nature 

has its own will

and cannot be compared

to the will of He who made us.

The darkness dwindles daily.

With every prayer,

every letter of Your Word.

But it returns with my own desires.

And as light leaves no shadow,

you, God,

cast no darkness.

Make my soul like yours.
