Fall Vespers

Tristan Robert Lange

An early fall night.
There’s a stillness in the air.
Lord, you are near me.

        So true about that closeness/nearness at certain points in time/seasons! 👍🏻🤩🙏🏻🕊️

      • 2781

        Yep, you could say he's everywhere!

        • Tristan Robert Lange

          😂 Yep, Valiantstar! Pretty hard to find a place where God isn't already hanging around. 🍂🌙🕯️🙏

          Short, sharp and so sweet my friend

        • Kevin Hulme

          Nice one. And that Rocking Chair looks inviting.

          • Tristan Robert Lange

            Much appreciated, Kevin! And right? 😂 I wouldn't mind finding that rocking chair somewhere in the real world. 🍂🌙🕯️🙏

            • Kevin Hulme

              My Grandmother had a Rocking Chair. As a Kid I loved it. 👍

              Lovely writing. I wish it were fall here, high 90s. Enjoy your fall nights

              • Tristan Robert Lange

                Thank you, Friendship! Don't be too jelly...Mother Nature is still serving us mostly 80s. 😅 But yeah, compared with high 90s, I'll shut up and take it! 🍂🌙🕯️🙏

                Good write T. You turning to the way of light? I'm dreading those Monday poems. lol.

                • Tristan Robert Lange

                  The way of light?! Orchi, please. 😂 This is merely a temporary clerical error. Normal dreadful service resumes tomorrow. 🍂🌙🕯️🙏

                  What happened, one minute I'm on my deck chair sipping Pina colada's.
                  Now I'm fighting off polar bears.
                  Another year drawing in.
                  I mention Jesus in dulcet tones.

                  • Tristan Robert Lange

                    😂 Paul, that escalated quickly! From Piña Coladas to polar bears...October apparently has no transitional setting. And hey, dulcet tones are probably the safest approach. 🍂🌙🕯️🙏

                        Hello, Tristan,

                        A delicately woven declaration of faith in an autumnal peacefulness. Just lovely.

                        Tony.
