Afraid of Nothing / Everything

The Nothing comes knocking on

My bedroom door,

Leads me to worry, to wonder and fret.

Will there be anything,

Anyone standing behind that portal

Of sad regret?

 

It swings open

And light filters in and the Nothing is

Suddenly opened to everything.

My mind filters out what my

Eyes would allow until

There is no song left to sing.

 

Lord, give me strength, give me

Wisdom to cope when

The Nothing looms over my tortured soul.

Teach me to look over

Everything’s shoulder

Where hope is the prize,

The ultimate goal.
