Looming
Shadows.
In dark of night, while the world slept, fear crept in. Its shadow fell across my room, looming large over me. My heart was gripped, pounding.
It was simply the angle of the moon that made such a long shadow. It had no substance. Like mist, it came, obscured vision, then left.
❖
Lord, let me give myself to you in easy times and hard, at noon and dark of night. Let not the shadows mist stop me.
Grant me knowledge of your will for me, and power to carry it out.

Consider:
Can I see through the shadows?
