Solace

A reflection on Sunday 11/13/2016

I was in search of solace

Away from the jeers and cheers

I felt like being upside down

In a world that aligned with me not

I found myself deep in the woods

Where only a few mortals care to trod

In the clean air I felt God

Granting me the calm I sought

With my camera I captured colors

Of orange, yellow, red, and green

Which glowed under the autumn sunray

Where the cool air warmed and dispelled distress

I took tea from the Drink Me cup

A souvenir from a magic time

It served well in mending my heart

I felt better amid the confusing time

Today’s sermon was of planting a tree

When one feels the end of the world is coming near

For hope is eternal, faith is clear

God’s grace will keep you safe from fear
