Soul Straightening

"When people care for you and cry for you,
they can straighten out your soul."
-Langston Hughes


We've found we need
a little still,
a little quiet.
A little Peace,
time to think.

We've found we need
a little straightening,
a little direction.
A little silence,
time for Voice.

We've found we need
a little time,
a little touch.
A little care,
time for Comfort.

We've found we need
this to be our Sabbath way
for a little while,
for a time

We've found we need
some soul straightening.
