Night Visitor

Mere words cannot describe the way I feel,
when I first think of God as He appears,
and with an overwhelming wave so real,
He comes to comfort me and quell my fears.

Like when the night clouds part, the moon breaks through,
to flood our vision with her stunning light,
God's presence all at once breaks into view,
abruptly ending all the dark of night.

His dawning scatters all our worries dark,
my troubled thoughts of all my problems cease,
my battery of faith begins to spark,
as comforted, I sense His calming peace.

I'm grateful, God, You brighten and console
the dark discomfort of my burdened soul.
