| In
Mind
Elegant in style, refined
in likeness to a polished jewel;
sparkling facet shines throughout lone darkened nights
Mirrored by stars, eyes that sooth hollow depths,
minds' anguish spared within their shimmering lights
Out of bleakest ebon
appear stalkers to evenings' dawn,
watching each drawn breath taken in restless wakes
Hissing voices conspire amongst room's cast shadows,
looming silhouettes inch forward like slithering snakes
Loathsome creatures
gathered inside Heaven wailed,
to earthly bowels their unclean souls were tossed
Evil that challenged the Holiest in Kingdom's Hall,
condemned to wander through dismal shades, forever lost
Tortured by sight,
favored for a conjurer's sphere,
nightmares surge, becoming realities bared to will
Aggrieved spirits born in birth fall to demonic taunts;
clutches released upon heard rustling in the still
From hallowed regions
beyond an outstretched sky
on rustling wings a prayer's fulfillment descends
Calm to malady comes furnished unto an angels touch
horror subsides as a smile from above transcends
Elegant in style, arrives
a loving presence in our mist,
summoned by faith, never is there need to walk alone
Carried aloft, our words the Father always hears
for children's keep, guardians readied beside His throne
