Solitaire -2                                               Elcho October 29, 2022. 1:00 PM

      At the cabin again

           So quiet inside

      But outside noisy!

Rushing of wind

     Waves on the water

          Dancing sun pennies

     Flashes of brilliance

Leaves wildly blowing

      Rustling and crackling

           Tossed up in the air

      Swirling whirlwinds

Shadows inside

      Leaping on the walls

           Like flapping banners

      Constant motion

Inside so hushed

      No sound to be heard

            Alsolute silence

      All is quiet

Quiet

      Frozen in time

           Even old magazines

      From years long ago

Memories

      Filling the cabin

           Family in heaven

      Here with me now

Names on the chairs

      Still here with me

            I can see their faces

      Sense their presence

Dad at the end

      Head of the household

           Mom here beside me

      Anchor for my youth

You’re my anchor now, Lord

      Your Presence too

            You are within me

      Held in my heart

Calling me to be here

      Almost didn’t come

            Caught up in Busy

      Irons in the fire

Cons and MK gone home

       Along with friend Lily

             Just You and me Lord

       Ah, but with the others too

So quiet here

       Coming back to Listen

            Listen. In the silence

       Listen for Your Word

Speak, Lord

      I’m listening

            My ears are open

      My heart is open too

Stop typing, Ann

     Cease any motion

          Just come and Be

     Close to My Heart

That’s where I meet you

     Come, enter in

          Be here with Me

     Come and be still

Take a deep breath

     Some, Holy Spirit

          This is holy ground

     It’s where You are

Always everywhere

     But so often you miss Me

           Rushing about

     Passing Me by

Stop.

      Be still.

            Stop.

      No more typing………

And of course I fell asleep, but that’s ok.  Time of rest, of quiet, of peace…

I’ll go for a walk now, outside in the breezes.  Walk to Perch Lake, remember the oak…. Walking with family, walking with Trinity ~ never really alone, pleasant companions 🙂  You lead me beside the still waters, You restore my soul…. Thank You Lord, praise You!  I’m coming, I’m coming….
