Peace at St Enedoc’s

St Enedoc’s Church, Cornwall

This beautiful church nestled in the sand dunes behind Daymer Bay has been reclaimed from the sands and stays open for private prayer.

Settling in a pew both my husband and I felt enveloped by the peace of God. It’s not a natural thing. It’s not the kind of peace you work for or strive to obtain. It literally settled over us like an enveloping blanket. This poem was birthed from that.

Peace

All enveloping peace

Wrapping as a comfort blanket

Holding tightly

Revealing anxiety held within

That grips tight around my heart

I rest, head on arms

In Your peace

Releasing worries

One

by one

by one

My head dipping further

Stop……

Be still……

Wait……..

Rest……

And

 KNOW

That

 I AM God

I leave lighter in heart and spirit.
