Light

“HEADS or Tails”

| Laura Lee Bonde

having one mind
the mind of Christ
mysteries revealed
never hidden

knowing Him
to such a degree
of living WITH Him
eternally

never wanting
never needing
darkness
to survive

having been
on the other side
I can tell you
Light prevails

no more waking
unknowing
no more passing out
to sleep

no more selling
what was His
no more lying
to get it right

flip the coin
until it lands on Him
and choose to live
on the other side

 

“The Other way”

| Laura Lee Bonde

when I think about a life apart from God
I see darkness
blankness
a world full of
wonder and
lust
gratification in every want
not knowing
that the want is
darkness
always eating
always playing
always digging a grave
deeper
with no way to escape
seeing darkness
as light
the dirt
as a blanket
the shovel
as a sword
chewing the air
to swallow
seeing
the opening at top
slipping further away
until
nothing

“SonLight”

| Laura Lee Bonde

there’s a place deep within my heart
where truth is planted
and freedom grows

my mind is less deceived to believe manipulation

and darkness only exists
with the flip of a switch
with the sun going down
with the moon rising up
with the closing of my eyes
with a blanket over me

anyone who follows Jesus should be exposed
nothing hidden

maybe people feel shame
because they think they’re the only one
who’s aborted a child
who’s worked at a clinic
who’s lived off the money
who’s child was torn

so many turnouts
planned by the enemy
to produce shame
guilt
grief
torment
the more one lives there
the more darkness laughs

it’s time to stand strong
helping the weak become bold
bringing everything to Light
defeating darkness

an army of love
marching forward
