The sun streamed through the colored glass
And danced across the empty pews,
Playing tag with the holy shadows
While the organ stood – less amused.
In the midst of this godly performance
Sat a figure bending forth in prayer,
Mindless of the play around her
While she was quietly sitting there.
Paused…the light formed a halo about her
Then a tear rolled down her cheek,
‘Thank you, Lord, for listening
Life is seeming a little less bleak’.
She spoke in soft, sweet whispers
‘I know, Lord, your presence is near –
I feel your strength within me –
your Spirit enfolds me here’.
The light and shadows heard her
The glad dance began again,
In joyful praise for the figure
who was blessed by God’s gentle hand.
In plain sight
