Safe




SAFE

How safe a place it is to be
Sheltered, blanketed in thy security
Drawing close, sheathed in the night
Closetted by prayer, my inner delight
Star studded lights illumine ascending thanks
Gurgles and noises from silent river banks
Trees brush my thoughts in their heavenward gaze
A communion most holy, captured in the haze

Oh that this communion could forever be
A continuum while our earths orb spins celestially
Daylight hearkens, splitting the skies canvas sheen
And night will be a memory, as if it had never been
Fingers of dawn drawn by the caressing sun
Crossing mountain tops, burning the snow as it falls
Soon will wake the day with it strident calls

Live in my heart today, most enraptured love
Hold your threads through today’s fabric like a glove
Cocooned, chrysalised, sheltered and warm
Insulated and accoutered, for all of today’s harms
I grip your presence in a childlike grasp
One finger will suffice, it will be my one stringed harp
Play melody, and sing ascendant note
Rise and fill all space with that grateful cry
Till night returns, at bedtimes weary sigh.
