Into Night's Silence

 It was such a gorgeous introduction...night meeting dawn! (oops, now my camera is a day behind)

Into night's silence, morning reaches

As a breath of breeze is stirred

Then the singing of a bird

Trills as coral skims yon breaches

A new day is gently waking

Chasing sable from night’s sea

Spilling opportunity

Like a gift free for the taking

Darling, so much is uncertain

None can tell what will befall

Or what ink of Time will scrawl

Ere dusk draws its violet curtain

But this one thing we know surely

Every hour passes through

God’s most kind and tender view

He holds His children securely

Into night's silence Mercy reaches

Barring not one gasp of grace

As dawn slips from Love’s embrace

And Time on our behalf beseeches
