In the silence
I see
The glory
And the hope
Of the morning.
In the silence
I see
Arms and legs reaching
For the sun
Branches of trees
In shadows
In the silence
I feel
Holy Spirit
Like an old friend
Warm and cozy
Bearing exciting news
About this day
May unfold.
The sun fades
As I sip
Slush, swoosh, slurp
Coffee in my cup
Reflections in the mud
Rain on its way
Birds getting ready
Rabbits running
Squirrels climbing inside tree trunks
All hiding now
Clouds cover all.
Then giant raindrops fall
On the tin roof
Drowning out the silence outside
Filling in the silence within.
God’s thunder
Then the sun returns
A newborn deer
Steps gingerly into the open
Eats tender grass
Wet with dew
Wide eyed, cautious
Shadows return
New growth is thwarted
The son brings
Light amidst
The darkness of day.
