Stillness

It is the still of night

That takes us to places loved

Calm, peaceful places only dreamed

Can we afford not to visit

The beauty of love at peace?

It is the serenity of prayer

That leads us to a higher plane

One of tranquility and love offered

Where we gather with celestial splendor

And see ourselves clearly in the face of God

Where then does the soul receive sustenance?

Is it the still of night

Or the serenity of prayer?

The combination of these two

Is where the tranquil breezes wave the wheat

And cover the heart with comfort

That longed for comfort…

There is a wondrous, beautiful longing that is threaded through your heart here. In stillness.. in the quiet of the soul... you can finally hear the real world.. and you say it so well.
