Solitude is colored
dark by many men,
But my spirit shines
in those dark moments
That sparkle with my
choice of God’s praise;
The essence of my
joy, my stay of peace
Bedecks me in
garments that eradicate my tears
And delightfully sheds
my fears.
In my solitude, I
have beheld Your beauty
In the glimmer of
sunrise, the radiance of sunset
The glistening drops
of dew on green foliage
And the flight of
rain drops in the sun,
Even the rainbow
blushes at my quiet gaze;
My gaze of wonder; am
amazed as I ponder.
In my solitude, I
hear the fish rejoice in muted voices
And the trees clap
their hands in green ovation
Every creature
drawing from You their soul’s satisfaction;
I am your sheep and
Your voice is best heard in my silence,
My weakness reveals
Your strength, in patience I wait,
Alone in obedience my
heart is all ears…
