Misty Minutes, by Lisa Zuercher, 14 June 2006
And where is one to turn
on the darkest nights of life
Walking aimlessly through
the misty minutes of unknowing
All the while God peering
down upon you
silently urging the next step
Despair creeping tenderly
into the void
Satan tap dancing on your soul
Good and evil playing
a tug-of-war game
with Satan unaware of the rules
God, being the Alpha and Omega,
cannot lose this game
As darkness of the soul
is not Satan winning over God
It is Spirit resting
It is human not seeing Spirit clearly
It is ultimately growing and maturing
in Spirit
It is preparation for the next step
So as one begins to see the
light of day through
the misty minutes of unknowing
Hope blossoms
petal by petal
like an unfolding pink rose.
