an opening

this late night..
nothing settles
and I yearn for
the calmness of Your
presence
have I turned aside
to blaring sirens
of concern..
blocking out
Your calling
to me..
how I abhor
my thoughts against
Your ways
as they are faithful
they are peace
but this night
in the slow passing
of hours, the gentle care
of angels occupy
the scene with praise
still
and the heart, my heart
opens to take in
a breath and exhale
my case in a long
letting go
an opening for
the light to come
through
