Summer Evening Prayer

Creation passes from day into night

Summer Evening Prayer

The Sun has reached the far hills
The world seems to pause.
Long shadows reach across the land.
In peace and the promise of rest.
The gift of life slows
From horizon to horizon.
The peaceful time
Is the time of rest,
Promised from the beginning.
The glory of red glow fades
To reveal the night’s miracle
A carpet of stars
Spread across the heavens.
