Running away to nowhere

Sky absent of any joy

Hope feeling forsaken

Worry arrives to destroy

Driving along road’s darkness

Sky absent of moonbeam’s light

Hope feeling forsaken

Worry invades every night

Fleeing from life’s harsh outcomes

Sky absent of any peace

Hope feeling forsaken

Worry refuses to cease

Navigating stormy seas

Sky absent of any stars

Hope feeling forsaken

Worry bleeds from every scar

Wasting each forgotten day

Sky absent of all sunlight

Hope feeling forsaken

Worry forever in flight

Indeed . . . there is a faithful and forgiving Light, filled with unseen hope, as found in these verses of Scripture:

Matthew 11:28-30:  “Come to me, all you who are weary and are carrying heavy burdens, and I will give you rest.  Take My yoke upon you, and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.  For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”
