Rebirth

I knew it to be Darkness

when it knocked.

Still, I opened

and was surprised

when I could

no

longer

see.

Bombarded,

I close my eyes

and am haunted;

drowning

in the

images of the day.

Father, take them from me!

I beg you.

Replace them with lovely things;

Clean

Redeeming

Uplifting

and full of Light.

Forgive my stupidity.

Cleanse my mind.

Renew me

with images

of Spring.
