Poem Title:
Poem
To be grateful is to recognize the love of God in everything He has given us–and He has given us everything. –Thomas Merton, writer and poet In a still, small voice The Father called to me Awakening my heart and soul To love that I had only dreamed of In the silence of the night Across the starlit heaven’s bright Hangs a giant moon who glows Softly down to earth’s unhurried June In a gentle, soothing quiet Soft as a lavender hue pressing in Through waves of purple and violet Like lilacs laughing soundlessly In the noiseless night so bright With a full moon whispering Through melancholy darkness Where a gentle hush settles in In a breath of unhurried tunes Music so easy it leaves hearts lighter Feelings kinder and spirits Wiser than they were previously In the moment, where peace lives There comes the sigh of happiness Seasoning the emotions with A light from within, a brilliant spark In a promise from God’s song As He colors the world all hope and love There comes a serenity so supple It touches the edge of eternity In the calm, cool heavens There lives and breathes a desire For joy so full it completes With God’s soothing sigh of faith In a word, silence brings grace The way hope erases gloom Light destroys the darkest night And compassion cheers the desolate Silence, it seems, will bring Soothing, sensitive serenity To the soul who believes Receives and concedes … That still, small voice Sends sweet surety As silent prayers succeed In bringing Salvation to the soul!
