The hours draw on

as the mist settles thick

between the building

between the trees

and it feels as though

it is even in my bedroom.

The candle flickers from the

nights gentle breeze

But the glow is still

bright and strong.

Street lamps are on

Flat lights are on

But they all look so

distant and eerie

I feel so alone,

so desperately lonely.

Lord, my God

I know You are The only for me

and I worship You with all my heart.

Fill me with Your powerful presence,

So I may know Your heart.

So I may not feel so apart.

18^th August 1995

Psalm 139
