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.
