Tour Day 736. Closer

Life marches on

Despite our challenges 

Or difficulties we face. 

Others want to move on. 

**

Well meaning words

Sometimes hurt even more.  

Untended wounds reopen 

Separating us from others. 

**

In times like these

We may push away

Seeking solace in quiet places 

Behind walls of our making. 

**

Here

In the silence

In our deepest valleys 

We find You

Waiting.   

**

Never leaving 

Nor forsaking

Inviting us ever 

Closer.
