Preface
Words against the Darkness
Preface
I’ve gone through a lot of dark times in my life. Especially if you are thin-skinned and sensitive like me, you get fast touched by the events around you. But I don’t want to become cool and tough because vulnerability is the main characteristic of a fulfilled human life. When you can’t feel pain you can’t feel joy as well. My prayers and blessings are the result of my struggles against the darkness. They helped me to overcome the times when I had the blues. Maybe they can comfort you too or inspire you to write down your own feelings and prayers.
God bless you in your dark times, my friends!
Yours Volker

Words against the Darkness
Like a Bird
helplessly I raise my hands
I am so small and insignificant
in this society
in which only counts
power youth beauty and success
how much I am respected and loved by you
God
you hold me
like a wounded bird
Thank you!
God
let us be healers
of wounded souls
let us go over troubled waters
let us be strong enough
to admit our weaknesses
and
in the end
all what we
are
have
and live to see
is a generous gift
of your heart
Dark Night of the Soul
each word is a search
when I speak me out
and say nothing
your being is not to grasp
you are obvious
like the light
I think of the darkness
when your name break to me
in emptiness
only a dark silence
remains comforting
which is brighter
than every earthly light
Prayer in hectic Times
when my heart
is filled with my daily routine
don’t give up to reach me
God
when I don’t have time
to care of you
take care of me
when the world around me
needs my full attention
so that I forget you
don’t forget me
when I go my own way
go with me
and give yourself back to me again
when I’m afraid of the future
open my heart for your love
which drives away every fear
I want to gift myself this day
I don’t want to think ahead any longer
I still want to gift myself this day
everything that’s called itself tomorrow week or month
is anyway your element
therefore God
I want no longer lose heart
I know you are going to carry me into tomorrow
please only give me
a strong trust
because at times
it’s very difficult
to build only on
“I will”
Don’t be afraid
God who is strong like a lion
and tender like a feather
keeps us safe
God who loves us madly
shelters us
so that nobody can harm our souls
God who is like no one else
spreads his hands like the wings of an eagle
above us
look
there is nothing
what we have to fear
God bless you!
God lay the sky under your feet
so that your problems are like clouds
God fill your heart with sun
so that darkness becomes light
God anoint your hands
so that they become gentle
God bless you
so that you find your fulfillment
The One
the one
who finishes every dark night
he
who is brighter than the light of every dawning morning
the one
who is eternal
he
who holds life and death in his hands
the one
who is almighty
he
who shows his humanity in a weak child
the one
who is pure love
he
who shelters every step into tomorrow
he
who is the one and only
bless you
On Eagle’s Wings
the king of eagles may carry you on his wings
through the storms of life
the sun may lay you a smile in your heart
in a little boat across the stormy sea
on your ways
he may firm your step and make you glad mooded
so you may be sheltered
by the old God
So that you can live
The One, who lives at the margin of society,
because God takes shape in him,
meet you in silence,
that you can recognize God.
The One, who is too precious for this world,
which nails him to the cross,
because it doesn’t understand him,
touches your wounds,
so that you can live.
The One, who is born out of God,
who is oblivious to himself,
who lives,
because God is everything to him,
bless you.
