Near in the Shadows

In the quiet room

where hope feels thin

I sit

with a heavy heart

And yet

a presence rises

steady

warm

holding me

Not distant

Not imagined

Real

Holding

Near

God leans close

to the crushed

to the weary

to the shattered

Your tears are known

Your silence heard

Your soul carried

Through dark

Through endless dark

Even here

Even now

You are not alone

You are not abandoned

Soft as mercy

Strong as love

Held

Held

Held

And still

Held

Reviews

[Samuel Dickens]

"....I shall fear no evil, for thy art with me..." The message I get from this is strictly biblical. Yes, we are not alone. We are not abandoned.

[Curly Grace]

Yes, that thread is woven into it. I’m glad it reached you that way.
