Notes About The Poem

A Clean Heart - 1

Happiness is in the quiet, ordinary things - a table, a chair, a book... and the petal falling from the rose, and the light flickering as we sit silent. - Virginia Woolf Breathing in the silent thoughts Of rich, green pasture Maples and birch Birthed on the tail end Of a rain shower In spring Whispering in the dreams Of colors in hues Of lavender and lilac Promises rich Dancing light and love Laughter from above On the heart of one who knows God is alive Soothing the heart and soul With beauty discovered On winds and vibrant hugs From the stardust night As it flickers and smiles Bidding souls delight In psalms and prayers Insights Twisting and turning Through rays of sunlight As it embraces naked minds With delicious inspirations Feelings so sweet Compassion swells within Warming the heart As well as the spirit Comforting as Music Little things come to life In the eyes of a child Who loves so innocently Purity dripping from the heavens On milky clouds So soft and kind they Deny the thunder Has ever roared in a storm As they caress the skies With simple hope Create in me a clean heart O God… create in me a right spirit One who knows your love And the answers That come from above With faith and assurance That your love Will give me all I need Today, tomorrow, forever Throughout eternity
