Peace

Peace
is a quiet moment
a still sunrise
a warm blanket and soft music

Peace
when the endless spinning of our thoughts
the endless questions on our hearts
slow down just long enough
to hear the whispers

Peace
the bended knee
the breaking open
the surrender

Peace
like a river

like an open road
an urgent calling
and through the uncertainty
the Shepherds hand

Peace
when the world waited in darkness
turmoil
the wrath of heaven concentrated
suffered
completed
when He cried "it is finished"
and the veil of life
was ripped before our eyes
top to bottom
clearing the way for us
to be still
and know
that He is God.
