It’s Called Prayer
Virginia Salter

A light in darkness
Music in clamor
Peace in calamity
Joy in sorrow

Whispers in shouting
Power in weakness
Love amid hatred
Moisture in drought

When evil is on all sides,
Prayer is a rescue.
As a candle flame,
in solitary glow,
shines a hope for you
so, too, a prayer rings
of promise through and through

Prayer is all of this and thank you for reminding me.  Sometimes I need to be reminded of where the only true comfort lies.  Thanks again...and I left you a note after my last post (the one that kinda scared you).  your poems always inspire me...to simply be content and grateful for the calm.

Thanks for reminding me that prayer leads to the only true, lasting comfort there is.
