My Emptiness
I lay there wide awake,
sleep elusive tonight,
My wife slumbered on,
mewing softly in a dream.
I gazed on her form,
draped only in moonlight.
The Devil must have seen us,
A dark thought in the night.
What if she had never been?
What if to her I was unseen?
I tried hard to shake myself free,
Saying this could never be.
Into a fitful sleep I then slid,
Keeping thoughts from Satan hid.
But the tormentor stayed in my dream,
In my darkness I rent out a silent scream.
My wife beside me was not to be seen,
I knew then, without a doubt, my dream.
Was the Devil trying to make a split between,
Two lovers, that God had brought together.
I knew then we were entwined forever.
The darkness where I could see no end,
Was the devil trying to make me bend,
To his will, My faith in God had said no chance.
To the devil's tune I would never dance.
So I gazed upon my wife who slumbered on.
I thanked God that we were One.
Not just in this life,it is a phase just passing,
We will be joined still, in the Everlasting.
