Dial Me Down

Dial me down. . . the noise is too loud –

pixels and pictures, surfing the ’net

TV commercials bombard my head.

Radio’s blasting, can’t seem to forget

burning words in my mind

that others have said.

~

Steep me in Stillness. . .

 Swaddle me in Peace. . .

Stroke my cheek softly

like warm summer’s breeze.

~

Soothe my sighs with lullabies

that chase away my fears.

Help me hear the pin that drops

signaling You’re near.

Let me learn the language

of what it’s like to Rest. . .

rocking safely in Your Arms

and cradled in Your Nest.
