In the silence of the night

In the silence of the night

When hardly anything is astir

The tick tock of the clock rules the room

The soft sounds of sleep amidst the gloom

A rhythmn that moves together

Quietness unfolds the deepest thoughts

Hopes and fears awakened in a fog

Dimly lit by the moon outside

Intertwined they run side by side

Lost in the forest of my thoughts

Like tiny sparks of fireflies in bushes by the rock

On and off, here and there, and everywhere

Where am I?

Has the dark so completely erased my sense of direction

No grasp of my soul's location

Then I recall these words

From the lips of my Lord

Be still and know I am God

He watches, my Maker

He understands, my Master

Bringer of peace

I am still in His Presence

And all is well with my soul
