Its calm and sleep and quiet
I can feel comfortable now

The usher
Usher it in
Slowly creep
One at a time, but perhaps more

Fresh in consciousness
Sense this fear
Squiggly threatening vibrations
The silent darkness laughs everywhere

Taking prisoners, hostages, new chains
Killing light and hope
Engulfed by this atmosphere

But I’m not afraid
Shaking, breathing hard or not at all
Chill in the room
Shivers

Where is my master
Protection, promise, life...
Standing away
Letting them have me
Threatening her

Faith, while I’m quietly whispering
This living room
Bubbly darkness

Chop shadows

I can feel my spine gurgling
And I’m afraid, but I have faith

I can see the evil
All around me
and within
But I call out
Repetitively

Lift my hands as a hostage
Only in worship
Of my God
The God of Israel

In his presence
A new strength
I sleep

Corruption is caused by holes in obedience to God.
