(in answer to D. J. Opperman)
There is no root or anything out of a dove
that does find roots in the human soul
or anything that a human can find in the night
to protect against the power of Lucifer
and alone no one can stand against supernatural power,
only the Lord God does guard against this kind of darkness
that in the depths of the soul does find a place in loneliness
and against each demon He does protect each child
that does accept Him as a father and He does even straighten eternity
where outside of space and time over everything in the universe His reign does stretch
and even in the deepest silence there is no bleak chilliness but only tranquillity
where God Himself and His angels do surround His children in vigilance
and in a world of ultimate chaos man does reign as an orphan
but the omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent One does forswear all kinds of fear.
