In The Grey-Land Of The World God Does Govern Alone Poem by Gert Strydom

(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.
