Demons- A Poem by David Ritter

“Kindness, like a hidden sun, cast rays upon the darkest days. We seldom grasp its profound impact on those who truly crave it. Recently, I awoke from a troubling dream. My notebook lay within arm’s reach, and I penned these lines in the dim light filtering through my window. Just then, a text arrived from my youngest daughter: ‘Hey Dad, love you! Hope all is well.’ Her words felt like a warm embrace, dispelling the dream’s shadows. It dawned on me—perhaps it was God’s gentle touch, using my daughter’s love to soothe my restless heart. Let us be kind, for we never know whose soul awaits that luminous touch.”

DEMONS

At night I sleep upon my bed
Demons play inside my head
They try to remind me of my fears
I try to drown them in my tears

I don’t know why they torture me
I pray to God to set me free
So I can run from silent screams
To a place with brighter dreams

He puts his angels on high alert
To protect me from getting hurt
And as they stand on guard for me
I know I’ll soon have victory

So when demons come out at night
I know now I can win the fight
Because I have learned when faced alone
To pray to Him upon the throne

And when the sun begins to set
I find no need for me to fret
For darkness may close my eyes
but in the morn’ the sun will rise
