Born in darkness
chisel in hand
my soul craves
the yet unknown
I carve the stone
cut away the rock
piece by piece
sliver by sliver
dust of granite my shroud
as I chisel, light enters
momentary blindness
passes
my cave illuminated
darkness dispelled
anxiety allayed
loneliness lifted
I see You
Your glory, my lamp
Shekinah runway lights
lead me
so I chisel more
hungry for light
pushing limits
to open the way
to one day live
in Light
