Days of Gray


Days of gray
have been somber.
My prayer has struggled
for a voice.
The storms rage
trying to weaken my foundation.

My tears
have become a dry river bed.
My thoughts are held 
in the grip of the world,
twisted by the complacency
of a sinful nature.

Days of darkness,
days of bitter wine
and dense shadows
are not without value
when the eastern sky glows
and the Lord calls me into the light.
