Darkened Disciple

To my God of nonsense,

Help me see and understand.

I’m stuck in a shallow pool of faith,

Afraid to tread out a bit deeper.

Bring me back to a ruthless trust.

I’ve lost it’s purest form,

But I search and seek longingly so.

The darkness seems to grow

Due to a building shade.

Shade upon shade creates more darkness.

I long for the flash of light;

When I see a glimpse of the path.

You leave me longing for longer.

I long for you. I strive for you.

“Darkened Disciple,” I claim I am.

I strive to serve a God I cannot see

Nor can I fully understand.

Hold me and help me.

Hold me in security

As you help me learn to trust.
