Darkening skies


The ever darkening
skies touched
by His hand
streaked
with delight
in this northern place

I have known joy
for endings
welcome
new beginnings

calm even as
chaos
rattles the doors

peace
descending
on a storm

I am His
what more
is needed?

I am leaving you with a gift—peace of mind and heart. And the peace I give is a gift the world cannot give. So don’t be troubled or afraid  John 14:27 NLT
