I sensed Your presence

I sensed Your Presence there –
On the edge of the candle’s hovering glow
Your footfall was silent as the falling snow
Your breath’s warmth, gentle as the flame
That melts the frosted air –
And I knew You were there.
On my weary face I felt Your finger
Brush away my fears and tears and linger
Gentle as a dove
Full of love
And I knew Your Presence there
In the stillness – still –
I know Your Presence there.
