Meditations on God

In my hour of despair

I cried out for help

and found only darkness and nothingness

but I never lost faith

and the longer I sat there

and the deeper I went

the more that darkness and nothingness

began to reveal itself

as God’s eternal embrace

enveloping and comforting me

from long before I sought Him

until long after I am gone from this world
