Your Solace

 

The birds flit softly in the dusk,

Wind chimes dance in the breeze

And evening settles in around

The gently stirring trees.

The day has set a hectic pace,

But peace is mine at last.

I settle into the stillness

That Your shadow has cast.

Oh Lord, You know just what I need,

And, when this life gets rough,

You offer the solace of peace

To one who’s had enough.

Romans 14:17

For the kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking but of righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.
