Run darkness, run!

"You, O Lord , keep my lamp burning; my God turns my darkness into light."
NIV Psalms 18:28

I am a little spark of light, a bit of energy
I'm sent into the darkest night to help all people see
A flame I burn incessantly my fire glows deep within
I'm called of God to radiate a beam of flame to sin.

As God consumes illusion only truth remains to share
And light and life in God replace ugly darkness there
A Kingdom filled with Love explodes; angels sing in chorus
Creation is connected; all life joins in God's forest.

There's only one true spirit here, throughout all time and space
Once shattered into many parts by darkness on the face
Of planet earth by selfishness as man turned off God's source
Of light and chose a selfish way, a downward deadly course.

Speaking lies and making cries smothering God's Holy Light
And so I glow a candle slow and send a ray to fight
And yearn to burn each bit of matter consuming darkness
Leaving rainbows of light glowing beautiful bright quarkness.

And so I roar, as I abhor all misery and grief
Search out all life to join as wife arrest the darkened thief
Will you join me, accept my flame abandon guilt and shame?
Glow your candle brightly, with me, explode a bigger flame?

Burn hot in me; l'll burn in you, in God's Loving Pure Way
Run darkness! Run! For Light is turning your darkness to day!

Newell darling boy Oh my Iā€™m stunned with admiration this has got to be one of you utter utter best. Truly the line and flow in this is absolutely excellent.

And such a clear and bright light it is, you shine so well darling boy

Truly awesome writing.

You are always a fabulous writer, in this you have excelled yourself. If you keep writing like this I shall start running out of superlatives and that would never do would it?

  
Love and warm stuff
