The Air is Still


The Air is Still

The air is still, the silhouette,
        And ne'er shall men of faith forget
The seed;


The wholeness of his life shall find
        The place, the time, with heart and mind . . . 
A deed


To ease a burden, show the way
        Amidst the shadows of the day,
And peace


That calms the soul, serenity,
        Wherein the breath of enmity
Shall cease.
