Darkness wafts within the mind

Darkness wafts within the mind

as soothing salt laden sea breezes

on that sweet sandy holiday away

all bright, light, feeling oh, so right

while within the dead heart of darkness

darker, colder than the darkest coldest night

the unaware snare

nary trapping the leg, nor the neck

but clamping down upon the soul

to slowly drain the spirit

as if caught in the web of an arachnid

on par with King Kong

In the myth of the vampire

it is written, said the bite of death

feels sweet, seductive

in the reality of life on earth

the bite of sin

of that darkness appearing sweet,

light

pleasurable

desirable to be repeatable

adopted

adapted

appearing like those warm wafting sea breezes

on that holiday away

are keeping you in the web of bondage

father of lies

sweet honey tongued from time in the Garden

to right now within your heart and mind

So many believing, seeking aliens

while alien to the truth

alien to God

alien to the Lord Jesus Christ

alien to the Holy Spirit

alien to the infallible inerrant living Word of God

That which is invited in

languished in

wallowed in

sin

confusing for lasting pleasure

deluded equated debated as enlightenment

is the darkness of the Second Death

eternal death

damnation

revive that word long lost and cast aside

from the truth, the Word of God

no longer hide

Cast away into the sea

the repentance of sin

submitting

humbling

obeying

words despised among the proud, haughty, the oh so naughty

dismissing the filth of sin within

refusing the Lord Jesus Christ

the only way to the Father

no matter the time

day

hour

age

there can be a moment

of true light within the delusion of darkness

to allow the Truth, the Way to Life

ignite

Light

the cold heart within

in faith, in humbleness, in contriteness, in sincerity

such faith and seeking to permit the Spirit of God

to enter

destroying death

removing sin

forgiving

God the Father forgetting

all that has been done

for true faith in what was done

by the Son
