"A Shade for Rest"

In these dark, desperate, unmerciful
days, it is hard to find anyone that
being around makes you feel any
better; most times after sitting
with others for a while you feel
worse, having also absorbed
what was contained within
their spirit

I awoke this morning and felt a
different atmosphere about me;
it made me feel uneasy and a
bit strange; I thought to myself,
this can't be, I know that it isn't

But as I begin to talk to it it made
me feel differently and more at
peace; it was a warm emotion
in the room that was gentle,
comforting and gave me
release

Choosing to remain in this
Presence for a while it returned
to my lips a smile and a Light to
my eyes

And even though it seems a lot of
times I choose to resist it, it will
not relent or forever give up; it
returns to me time and time
again and beckons me back


 . 4:6 And there shall be a tabernacle
          for a shadow in the daytime
         from the heat, and for a place
         of refuge, and for a covert from
         storm and from rain.   - Ysha-sha (Isaiah) -
