Honey Drop 57 — You, My Light

eejoseph,

“The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear?” Psalm 27:1

The scene

When shadows gather close and the night begins to rise, You kindle up my path and put brightness in my eyes. Your warmth upon my skin makes the darkness turn and flee — someone else can be afraid, but not me.

The shadow- the light

You show me every danger that would hide along the way. You steady all my footsteps so my feet don’t go astray. Your fire in the night is the shield that covers me — someone else can be afraid, but not me.

You lift me from the traps that were tightening unseen. You stand as my stronghold where the fearful cannot lean. Your presence is the fortress where my heart walks bold and free — someone else can be afraid, but not me.

Lexical Note: Light means sight and warmth and steps that walk free; salvation means rescue with sure victory; stronghold means safety no threat can decree — someone else can be afraid, but not me.

The drop

When You are my light, fear has nowhere left to be. Someone else can be afraid — but not me.

Poetic Flash: Your light on my path is my bold guarantee — someone else can be afraid, but not me.
