Day is done, Lord...
For this day's noontime warmth
and for the wispy clouds above
and for November's grateful simple joys,
I give you thanks and praise...
But evening shadows shiver now,
turning me and autumn leaves
to seasons' change and touch
deep in my heart...
The chill shakes awake the fall
within my sleepy self
and I seek pardon, Lord,
for any early frost upon my soul...
for any early frost upon my soul...
I thank you for the moonlight
shining down upon my path
through lanky branches up above,
now leafless, stark and bare...
Yes, day is done, Lord, day is done
but I wait for tomorrow
when like the sun you'll rise up
with healing, light and warmth...
Protect me, Lord, while I'm awake
and watch over me while I sleep
that awake, I might keep watch with you
and asleep, rest in your peace...
Amen.
This piano solo with a NASA video of the moonscape
seems just right for this evening's prayer...
