"Quiet of Night"
Quiet Of Night Brings With It a Kind of Stillness
I lay awake, Listening to the patient sounds of the house
Little Creakings and Rising and falling of cars on the highway
Little apparitions reminding me that I am not alone after all
Little voices whispering softly to themselves in the stillness
Things undone and things that desperately need to be done
Waiting for my little boy's footfall on the doorstep
Listening for his own cheerful knock
Being alone and the comforts of the peace therein
The feeling of safety that noone is pursuing oneself
that things are peaceful and safe in an eddy of time
quietly locked away like a little jewelry box
softly waiting to be opened by the boy who loves me
In Jesus' Name,
Amen
