Settle Down
I feel the presence
Noun without a pronoun
Deserving all descriptors
Even ones that might not
Sound so nice
Remembering that while God
Is a friend, God is
Worthy of all fear and respect
It’s Sunday, but it could be Monday
Any day
I guess maybe I slowed up a little
As Christians in the USA sometimes
Do, the day made even
Quieter by the promise of rain
Darkening the sky and
Limiting light on the street
So nature helps
With something we might find
Inconvenient,
Waiting for the rain
And then the rain
I’m stretching out my lower back
A little
While I think
While looking at the darkened sky
The leaves a darker color, too
Second verse, I think
No coded needed or repeat
Let’s enjoy this moment
As a present thing
And as something given
(two-parts gift)
By everything that’s come before with
Some attuning to new day
