The Sun

Addicted to the sun
I'm in withdrawl.
The dark traps me,
I want to run.

And run I will
From the silhouette of who I was.
My heart,
I spill.

Sunlight, rays I soak up
Stifle the tears
To cry would be...
Light that blinds my fears.

The sun like the endless sea
Drowns out the darkness
And releases me.
Light, and I can see...

Though my eyes are closed.

Casey wrote this poem on February 20, 2008. Five days later on February 25, she heard the Gospel and believed it.
Casey is one of the most beautiful people I know. She is such an encouragement and joy to be around. Pray that her heart would continue to be transformed by Jesus before she even realizes what He is doing.
