Inhale

Standing in the silence,

Feeling ripples in the night.

And yet, the stars still shine brightly overhead.

Distant worries seem to fade.

The moon, a sliver on the horizon,

Cool and remote.

In the peaceful stillness,

There is a Presence who is near.

Available. Willing. Loving. Warm.

The endurance of the One

Who guards our hearts and minds

Is a comfort tonight and every night.

The darkness will not prevail

Because the Light lives on.

In this moment, so clear and strong,

I bow and whisper, “Thank You, God.”
