late night wind
and rain
the lights flicker
and fade
finally they go out
again.
all the subtle electric hums
are silent…
darkness has swallowed
all of the sights,
all of the sounds.
even the shadows
are no longer found.
there is no looking
forward.
there is no turning back.
when no one else
is around,
no one else can be
counted on,
You are here.
in the dark next to
me…
there are still traces
of the graces You
showered upon me
that remain in
my soul from the
Blessed Sacrament.
In the quiet
my heart still beats
Your memory.
my heart still
beats Your name.
it is Your hand I find
to hold.
Your embrace that
helps me hold
it all together.
Your encouraging
Words that whisper
through the silence.
somehow filling the complete
and utter darkness,
with calm and peace,
when the power flickers
and the world around
me is engulfed
in black
You remain
steadfast.

Nicely done and the first thing that came to my mind was this!
Footprints in the Sand
One night I dreamed a dream.
As I was walking along the beach with my Lord.
Across the dark sky flashed scenes from my life.
For each scene, I noticed two sets of footprints in the sand,
One belonging to me and one to my Lord.
After the last scene of my life flashed before me,
I looked back at the footprints in the sand.
I noticed that at many times along the path of my life,
especially at the very lowest and saddest times,
there was only one set of footprints.
This really troubled me, so I asked the Lord about it.
“Lord, you said once I decided to follow you,
You’d walk with me all the way.
But I noticed that during the saddest and most troublesome times of my life,
there was only one set of footprints.
I don’t understand why, when I needed You the most, You would leave me.”
He whispered, “My precious child, I love you and will never leave you
Never, ever, during your trials and testings.
When you saw only one set of footprints,
It was then that I carried you.”
