Gently unfolding.....
Late, late at night when all is quiet,
chores and children, day is ended.
Within the vast darkness, shines a light,
gently unfolding, gracefully tended.
A time for body and mind to renew,
making ready for the next day ahead.
Yet we hesitate at this inner blossoming,
laying back down, resting our head.
Stillness abounds, a peacefulness,
breathing slowly as if a reflection.
Wondering if we are on the right path,
while time passes without detection.
Standing again in darkness and silence,
absorbing this warmth, a spiritual gift.
Filling body and mind with rejuvination,
deeper, much deeper, to our soul a lift.
A bright beam of illumination,
alone now as always before.
Instilling a comfort, subtle peace and joy,
mesmerized, looking out across the shore.
Oh how the ocean glistens and shines,
as each newly born ripple heads towards land.
As if a message being sent from beyond,
leading the way, reaching for our hand.
Stretching out our arms as if to touch,
this miraculous light warms our soul.
A soothing tranquility completely encompasses,
regardless of what in life may toll.
Hoping, wondering, great consternation,
yet God is always right there at our side.
It is mankind who sometimes turns away,
it is also our way to eventually learn to abide.
Unsure of the road we now travel,
and all the strife and struggle ahead.
Praying for salvation, everlasting peace,
now is the time to bow our head.

“Stand at the crossroads and look;
ask for the ancient paths,
ask where the good way is, and walk in it,
and you will find rest for your souls.”
~ Jeremiah 6:16
