So Quiet

No wind, no rain, no sound today,
Even the birds are still.
All Earth is bowing to the Lord
In obeisance to his will.

Yesterday the rains poured down
Into the mighty river.
The wind blew forth in angry gusts,
To set my world aquiver.

I cowered in my little home,
My only hope in prayer.
God heard and sent a peaceful day;
In January rare.

To every life the storms will come
In dark and heavy waves;
And just as sure the sunny days
To bring the peace one craves.
