Colossians 4:2
"Continue in prayer, and watch in the same with thanksgiving;"
There is a quiet
as we drift
on time’s cool passing;
living vessels filled
with peaking tender mercies
outstretched like new leaves
drinking drips of life.
We cup our hands
in clasps of prayers
moving our lips
in gentle worship silence.
A quiet that keeps us
still and wondering…
Awe encompassed,
drawing subtle sobs
as if emotion had no name…
Sitting where grace
renews at each dawning,
yet never leaving in despair.
How to capture this quiet
laying breathless in our lungs;
a speechless word
resting on our tongues.
It is a solemn praise
a very gentle sigh…
"Continue in prayer, and watch in the same with thanksgiving;"
A Quiet
There is a quiet
as we drift
on time’s cool passing;
living vessels filled
with peaking tender mercies
outstretched like new leaves

We cup our hands

moving our lips
in gentle worship silence.
A quiet that keeps us
still and wondering…
Awe encompassed,
drawing subtle sobs
as if emotion had no name…
Sitting where grace
renews at each dawning,
yet never leaving in despair.
How to capture this quiet
laying breathless in our lungs;
a speechless word
resting on our tongues.
It is a solemn praise
a very gentle sigh…
