Learned in the Light


Some higher truths are understood
at once; a solitary quote
can drive a lesson home for good,
while others must be learned by rote.

The Holy Bible clearly states
"Don't fear" in phrases that abound
like manna, yet while heaven waits
I set my feet on lower ground.

I only need recall some things
in darkness, for I've seen the sky
replete with chariots and wings;
a host of angels standing by.

And knowing who is present here
is all it takes to banish fear.
