Cast out

Posted on January 23, 2024 by Rosalind C Hughes

Demons shake and scream;
for God alone my soul in silence waits.
Something deep within mutters “unclean”;
for God alone my soul in silence waits.
Power demands authority, but
humility whispers and spirits writhe.
For God alone my soul in silence waits.
