30. Minute — The Shadow of Death
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death.
—Psalm 23:4
I walk within this gloomy shade
To find a glade,
A path of light
Against the night.
Alas, I've lost the safest way
To reach the day!
I'm lost in gloom
And filled with doom!
But in the shadow of my death,
I gain my breath
And soldier on
Towards the sun.
(To be continued...)
