Midnight In The Valley
Midnight In The Valley
Here in the midnight, within the dark valley, shadows mingle with my yearning deeper, and sing I the hymns of want while the cool waters whisper over my skin.
Thunder travels slowly away on the backs of the lightning. One after one nascent stars look down upon me with your eyes. Serene is the mood now from the vanishing storm-cloud, then all grows quiet while I chant your name.

I’m good..it is my husband…we are going through all of the pre-surgical (cat scan today) more tomorrow…for his third neck surgery. He fell 20 years ago and landed with his neck on the curb and it has been HELL for him ever since. But you know what they say about the third time…pray it is a charm!!!
Shannon Donovan replied
Oh God! I had no idea! My thoughts and prayers are with you and your husband, Susan! I cannot imagine that kind of pain. Lighting a candle for peace and comfort my friend..:-)
