God drawn near

Whenever darkness dims

the hope of health

and happiness becomes

mere memory

of distant days;

be still and in 

the stillness

stop to hear 

the deep affection 

of the whispered 

grace of God 

draw near.

Whatever 

twists and turns 

your journey takes

however hard

or high the stakes

there is a place 

of poise and peace

where fear can fade

and noise can cease.

and you can be a nesting place

for God drawn near.

This is a reason

not to fear.
