Know this ...

Poetry prompt:  Photo by Noukka Signe. Creative Commons, via Flickr.
It is finished.
I turn, deliberately,
to face you,
Fear.

My spirit stands
in strength.
My soul window,
opened.

I pour
into your darkness,
penetrate
your depths.

Hear this.
Know this.

Get behind me.
Be gone.

No longer shall I run,
afraid.
Through wilderness,
contrived.

God Wind
surround me,
empower me.
Peace, be still.

Patricia Spreng
