My Peace I Leave You

My eyes are closed 
but the sun is so bright and warm that I can see
yellow, so very yellow,
and
orange, so much orange,
dark and deep orange,
and I can feel love’s embrace
in the warmth of the wind through my hair
and across my face –
is that honeysuckle I taste?
Oh, how lovely it all is
and yet not the reason for my peace…
…that alone is from and in and all around
His voice.

His voice
speaking truth like a song I have always known;
His voice
vibrant and soft and sown welcoming all along;
His voice
the reason for my peace on this journey to my one true home.
