Psalm 38
a morning song
A normal day, at last
Blue sky and green leaves
The air is cool
Ablutions and then coffee
I sit here
Bird-song is low
Maybe birds are taking
Time to let this day
Herald itself
I sit here
With a cool current on
My back and liquid warmth
Close by: you give me
This peace, dear Lord
And my heart
Only begins, with what
Capacity it has,
To thank you

Oh wow–love this; so much quiet peace within.

So you enjoy the quiet, too? That’s great! I don’t have it all the time, so I strive to appreciate the silence, especially when it’s just right. Thanks!

You’re welcome 🙂 Part of the reason I’m a night owl is because it’s quieter then, than in the daytime. I can slow my thoughts and hear myself think 🙂 I should probably read the Psalms more…

I agree. Often I look forward to the quieter times of night. The original psalms are better, certainly, though I’ve enjoyed writing my own.

I enjoy the psalms you write–and you’ve got me thinking it would benefit me to do the same. (I do have one…which I may have already posted–I’ll check.) So I thank you muchly–God bless you!!

I was dropping a hint (badly) that you should write psalms. You have good things to say in that form. And God bless you!

If this psalm quiets, then that’s grand. If I may say, be at peace, Rosema.

I am at peace. May you be, too. 🙂 Thank you, Christopher!

Thankful and peaceful is a good start to any day 🙂

Yes, when I wrote this that’s just how it felt.

Anything I say to you is heartfelt. (Especially where I don’t make mistakes.) If what is said is helpful to you, then I am thankful, too.

This comment is for Rosema, https://areadingwritr.wordpress.com/2016/05/17/after-my-demons-win/, in response to her post. I guess I still don’t understand how pingacks work; I simply replied on the comment grid. Who knows where this will go next?
