Stories of Another Day

I hear the bird calling at dusk Stories told at the end of the day Leading me to think of mine Meandering on their way My silence takes over with listening I try not to skip a page In a rush to get beyond troubles, Avoiding a war not to wage I don't see the sun, it hides in clouds tonight It doesn't want to show its face Maybe, it's a little tired And wants to be some other place Pitter-patter steps, chipmunks scurry Gray clouds hold back the rain for now I still find myself reaching, As if I can touch the sun somehow As darkness settles in, the sun is gone away The sun and I will meet another day, another day Heidi Sands 8/18/22 POTD 8/20/22

"My silence takes over listening" - your deep reflection posing meditations, "gray clouds holed back the rain for now," another wonderful image. "The sun and I will meet another day." What a beautiful Psalm - a true prayer of confidence. Congratulations on your POTD honor Heidi. Well done. Many blessings to you!
