Darkness to Light

Written by Angela Doreen (2009) 

Everywhere I turned 
chaos loomed, 
dragging me deep 
into the silence of the night, 
where dark clouds gathered 
And the mist devoured all hope. 

Flashes of memory 
sliding by like shadows: 
ancient pain, 
lost love, 
fear, 
loneliness. 

And the drink 
my only comfort, 
my false friend. 

Then suddenly 
a change. 
A tiny crack appeared. 
A single ray of light 
pierced through my soul, 
flooding me with 
ecstasy, 
peace, 

a love I’d never known. 

And there 
after so long 
Hope stood near, 
waiting. 

Reflection: From Shadows to Salvation 

There were moments in life when the weight of the past, the silence of pain, and the false comforts we’ve clung to began to crumble—and in that space, I felt the Divine break through to save me.
Darkness to Light reflects my journey, transitioning from despair to hope, from spiritual chaos to a love that truly saves. 

Salvation began with a ray of light breaking the hold of darkness, and that light is Jesus. He found me when I couldn’t see myself, and with a three-word invitation, ‘Come follow me’, my life began to change.
