~Tranquility~
Oh, how softly
and faint the voice is And as I strain to
hear the oncoming sound I feel it is very far
off, yet clear Through melodious words, It
pleads with me to put them down.
The voice so peaceful, and
smooth Somewhat like an echo from above It
will be gone for some time, Then as if
beckoned, it returns in love
I
cannot pen a poem, nor would I try As the
Father sends one from above To recite the
words that flow On the paper and with much
love
Sometimes they come often, Yet when I
rush and feel stressed The words get flooded
over, And to hear them I must have
rest
Oh, peaceful rest, how I love
thee Visions of softly flowing
streams Satiny clouds gracefully
moving And silence, for visions and
dreams.
Yet not asleep, I can sit in the
realm Of tranquility and hear a bird
sing. I feel the breeze move softly through
the trees And happiness like none other it
can bring.
Then, and only then, the words go down
on paper Inspired, these words coming in
through the melody And as I write them, I
feel a caress within my heart In addition, a
peace, overwhelming, Singing such as a
psalmody.
