Void

The darkness yawns in front of me and I am scared

It is complete and I don't know what may greet me

Are you friend or foe, do you have good intentions?

Are you animal, hungry and yowling in the night?

Are you my own deepest fear come to greet me,

Make me wrestle and struggle with the things

Inside of my own dwelling and sometimes 

Those are worse than an animal or a foe because

We cannot grasp and wrestle with a firm body

Instead we struggle in our own skin trying to make peace

When it comes hard won night is not the fear

The darkness has only covered the bits of us 

We'd rather not see and we find our friend 

Darkness has brought us to a deeper edge 

Understanding and God found in the midst

Be not afraid it echoes through the ages so turn

And wrestle in the dark it is only your souls healing
