……………..Darkness

The lights blink out in this dark world;
…A viral blackness spread
By a contagion devil-hurled,
…With hearts its breeding bed.

The darkness never knows the light;
…The two can’t co-exist.
Night’s never day, day never night;
…Impossible a tryst.

Before light, darkness has no might;
…A distant glimpse – it flees.
It cannot offer any fight,
…Nor beg upon its knees.

The dark compares itself to night,
…And rates itself quite high.
For blackness thinks that it is white
…Since light is never nigh.

The Lord God’s like the brightest day,
…No shadow or a cloud
Moves o’er His just and holy way.
…No darkness is allowed.

So men who love the darkness flee;
…They hide till He appears.
They will His brightness briefly see,
…Then evermore shed tears.
