Darkness comes

After John 17:11-15

We know the darkness

because of the light, and

the darkness comes as

it drives light before it.

Flickers remain, protected

from darkness as it moves

and surrounds. The lights

remain, pockets of small bursts

highlighting the deepening

around them. Protected,

they endure.
