Quiet moments, Spent with the dawn – spent… With an all-consuming love, God Who knows me like no other… He knows me better than a brother. Quiet moments, Still as the rising sun – shadowed… By the moon’s departing glow, Awaiting its destiny beneath the stars, Where forever – we’ll pen our memoirs. Quiet moments, Saved for such a time as this – silence… Lifting all my worries, all my doubts, Stirring me to listen to the light above, When this joy – shines like glorious love. Quiet moments, Survive the failures and flaws – soothing… Away the feelings that breakdowns produce, Reminding me that beyond the worries – regrets Are few and far between – not too long til’ time forgets. Quiet moments, Sprinkled across the evening skies – soundlessly… Stars glistening and shimmering, twinkling on the night, Gentling the moments with their heavenly luster – glowing So the whole world will know, they abide just for showing. Quiet moments, Stilled by the darkest silhouettes, appearing – startling… Away the doubts and the gloom, heartening the dreams, Satisfying the weakest, the fragile and frail – supporting Hearts who believe, always encouraging, never thwarting. Quiet moments, Startled by the beautiful in the soul who sees – smaller… Doesn’t always mean less or unimportant, there are times, When smaller means humble and modest, unpretentious, And, filled with kindness, charity – a heart who is conscientious! Quiet moments, Stirring the heart so that there is abundance – a sweet sensation… In the lives of those who feel God’s presence in every condition, Feel the way He lends His light to even the darkest situation. What I know about Him, is He promises grace and salvation!

Where would we be without our quiet moments? Your imagery and rhyme scheme created the perfect pictures of quiet moments, moments I cherish each day. I especially liked: smaller… Doesn’t always mean less or unimportant, there are times, When smaller means humble and modest, unpretentious," I agree with those words and your last first was inspirational. Beautifully written, Regina, hugs and blessings, Sara

Regina, this is a beautiful exploration of tranquility and introspection. The vivid imagery you’ve used to describe the serene moments, from the dawn to the night sky, is truly captivating. I loved it. - Blessings, Daniel
