QUIET HOURS, by                    
First Line: Master, I have need of quiet hours
Last Line: Master, I have need of quiet hours.


Master, I have need of quiet hours,
Tumultuous sounds assail my ears.
Perhaps my heart could rest
If there were place
To pray.

The way
Was full of grace;
A friendly hand was pressed
Within my own. My sudden tears
Were dried because of someone's gift of flowers.
I glimpsed a slender moon above the towers,
And beauty robbed me of my fears.
A gentle wind caressed
My lifted face
Today.

To pay
For this; to trace
Thy name across my breast,
And satisfy my life's arrears,
Master, I have need of quiet hours.
