In the darkness - 2

hearing a whisper only
a murmur of a presence
not really wanting to hear it all
the actual words of Jesus
speaking to me in the night
in the darkness of this space
only the light shining on You
shining out into the world
I know You have a message
that’s why I don’t stop
I don’t sit down in the dark.
I fear the call, the words
the charge upon my heart, my life,
ready in the unknown,
in the quiet, in the dark.
