The Visitors

Spencer Wilhelm


Notice of absence from Spencer Wilhelm
The Mennonites might be on to something...
I'll be taking one year off away from my devices to be with the Lord. Pray for me

Sometimes I lay upon my bed

And feel the presence dark and close

Something sinister, not from here

It's purpose to impose fear

 

But there I lay, no words been said

Yet I remember days longs past

Full of rough reminiscences

Harboring shame without remorse

 

Yet still I lay with swirling head

Dwelling, inwardly, all on me

Being the center of the world

Forgetting my nothing nature 

 

Why do I lay refusing to be led

By Him who walked this earth before

And beat the Devil at his game?

Freedom is only a heartbeat away

 

Next time I lay upon my bed 

And visitors unwanted come

The Holy Name I'll then invoke

And trustingly fall asleep

    Being confident of this very thing,...

      It's quite a paradoxical experience, unique yet universal, eh?

        There's nothing new under the sun.
