The darkness rolls in like a cloud

 

It encompasses my soul

 

Yet, I am not drawn into it

 

But invited in order to be made whole

 

The silence and the sense of being alone is deeply known

 

Even though this painful place is part of leading me home

 

Desperation, fear, anguish and confusion

 

assault the core of my heart

 

But in every turn and in every step

 

God plays a vital part

 

The knowledge of walking “through” the valley

 

Is a comfort to rest in

 

But the experience of the journey

 

Leads to great brokenness deep within

 

And when I reach the depths where I cry out

 

“Where am I?  What is going on?”

 

I find that I take just a few steps further

 

And I see the glorious light of a brand new dawn.
