The shadows encircle,
creep forward, and close in.
Trying to envelope and permeate
all space
leaving its residents gasping for air.
Every night it does this
grasping at every hour it can
to rule with an iron fist
spreading its kingdom of Night.
But as it reached our apartment,
its attempt to suck life
was in vain
as light shot out
from two vessels of love
sharing life with Christ
and one another.
The darkenss shrank back,
taken aback as it was,
by this display of light
during its highest hours of reign.
It remained at the edges of sight,
waiting for its opportunity,
but that opportunity never came because
Light Grew.
Even after the vessels of light took their rest,
LIGHT HIMSELF
came to stand guard.
