Praise and Worship

There in that room
On that hour of that night
Was a little space, just
a little space
She could
call her own.

In the warm glow
of yellowed OHP light
And the warmer company of friends,
She sings and feels
God.

embracing her, as the
night
envelopes her,
a velvet quilt.

"Hush," He whispers, "I am here."
And for that moment,
everything
that worries, that tenses, that puts down,
dissolves
For that moment, her eyes
open.
For that moment, she feels
safe
warm
protected.

And soars.
Free.
