Today's poem has been written by Associate Chaplain, Ali Newell.

Moment of Grace

Image
Image of a white window frame, looking out onto green trees
4am
hot, feverish 
unable to sleep.
 
On opening the window
birdsong fills the kitchen.
 
In the gardens below
trees dance to their own tune 
swaying and waving in the wind.
 
Fresh air 
cools the face. 
 
Breath and body inhale the dawn. 
 
Anxiety releases its grip
and floats off into the beauty.
 
There is a felt sense of grace.
