Listen to poem:
No need to hide away
To shut the door
In darkness, lay
I welcome you
As warm embrace
The smile, as from a friendly face
Not loneliness, just inbetween
The voice of comfort
Not heard, not seen
I know you sit with me
And stay, when 'er I need
A friend to pray
Less than a whisper
Though, yet it seems
You comfort, encourage, caress my dreams
You're full, yet vacant
Absent, yet near
You calm with love my anxious fear
With soundless music
A serenade of joy
You overwhelm, yet strangely coy
And as I settle in this peace
You calm the waves
Smooth out each crease
From crumpled cloak I often wear
Now princely purple
Shoulders bear
I hear you
Not through sound so crude
But posture, presence, attitude
Of thankful heart as minutes race
Encouraged now
I know my place
