From Vespers to Compline this October Night

 

How peaceful it is to sit outside

In the cooling dusk as the stars appear

In the healing dusk as the busy-ness fades

Through unspoken Paters and Aves

 

How peaceful it is to sit outside

In the Vespers night of crickets’ hymns

In the Compline night of one last prayer

Whispered up to God through the dome of Heaven

 

How peaceful it is to sit outside

And be still
