In the dark,
We sing songs and tell stories,
Whether about our childhoods or just anything at all.
We find laughter and peace
In the quiet of our surroundings.
The night skies are still,
Crickets chirp softly,
The breeze sways the trees,
Footsteps of unseen animals echo,
Human voices mix with the sounds of nature.
Yet, through it all,
There is peace in the simplicity of it all.
But then, the goosebumps riseâ
What's lurking?
The trees dance,
The bushes rustle,
Yet we feel no fear.
God is on our side;
What's the worry?
Psalm 23 reassures us:
There is no need to fear.
