Spotlit By Grace

As wearily, tearfully, one prays, 
Caught in the spotlight 
Of a softly streaming moon,
Who wafts her brilliance through 
crossed boughs, blown
By a gentle breeze’s word
through pine-trees’ canopy,
 

To make the branches nod
and wave and sing in regal harmony 
That doleful tune and echo the rhythm 
Of troubled hearts, and with its psalm
Touch tenderly the freezing soul within:
 

Take in there God’s peace, His grace:
Realize that this light inspires, reminds 
that prayers sent up are always heard  
and no one is ever truly alone.
