All Saints' Day

by Stephen Ogden

Five a.m.,
In the peaceful ebb
Of the dying night.

Left alone,
No longer the focus
Of anxious looks.

At peace,
In my own space,
I meet my God.

Author's Note: The fourth poem in the sequence which I wrote about my father's death.

A beautiful read, man.

I agree with Tracy - the anxious looks can be a huge burden. Alone with God is a good answer
