In the Quiet of the Night
In the quiet of the night, I rejoice in my own way
Where I can find stillness and a blissful calm,
Knowing that I may commune with the spiritual
Without interference from distracting, noisome
Blather….
In the quiet of the night, I can escape restlessness
And discover that “peace that passes all understanding,”
When my head is cleared of the day’s mindless drivel
And I am freed from the ever-constant, worrisome
Blather….
In the quiet of the night, I let my imagination run free
Finding peace nestling in my flannel-covered cocoon
Thinking about all the things I treasure in life, mindful
Of all the things I need for life’s comfort and joy,
With no Blather….
