The Demon















Evil presence lingers
Unseen in the dark
Shadows whisk by
 Is it a dream

Fear envelopes
The core of my soul
Hissing whispers
Pierce the silence

Body paralyzed
Heart pounding
In my throat
Eyes tightly closed

Conversant, “I know you.”
Touch of cold creeping flesh.
“Come, I’m your friend.”
Conveyance of pure black dread.

Away from me,
We’ve battled before!
I need speak aloud
One name to conquer you…
“Yeshua”

I open my eyes
