Notes About The Poem

Written on August 26, 2023

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

Even My Heart

Sometimes, breaking – there is a sense of God’s love
Stirring – bleeding through the shadows,
In silhouettes of gladness – a dance with the wonderful,
Silencing all the dark’s promises, remembering only
  	Soft trembling of an ache, the feeling
Falling around me in flames, fires fed by insecurities,
Fires fed by pain – this is the breaking that feels like 
A hopeless need, pleading to be erased by the music of grace,
The music, played with truth and making a way for beauty,
Beautiful souls soothing…

Sometimes, a light – glistening with the joy, the experience 
Knowing what it means to walk away, free from the mourning,
Embraced by the sound – like rain falling, 
gentling the moments
When the feelings bleed into my spirit – 
	Whispering faith, singing of praise, prayers
Pleading for His wisdom, His way, His understanding embrace,
The music of a faith far surer – far more durable than I can think –
This is the faith that comes from knowing what it means to love,
Love without thinking – without any rejecting or neglecting,
Without regretting… 

This is love, love from the heart who trembles to be adopted
By the spirit who I need, Him – The ONE, the spirit who needs only…
	To be given the opportunity to give freedom – to give
Without reason, without any reason… perfect love, perfect freedom

Love so alive it feels like it is almost tangible, more than a feeling
Yet, never a possession – it is more than physical, more than eventual,
                        More than a blessing…

Even in my heart, the darkness clinging – fighting the temptations,
I resist so I can see the moment when my heart is met with His kiss,
The moment when I know Him better than I could have ever imagined,
Because He is the One my heart beats after – 
                   the One my heart believes
Forevermore… He is the ONE I love with a heart that He chose, 
               a heart That He loves… 

Even my heart knows – the miracle of God,
the miracle of overwhelming
                                       Love!

Its easy to forget for a while, then something quite simple might happen that makes you smile, and you feel His love encompass you. You realize he has been there all the while. He is always there, never leaves, even when you are fighting temptation, He is there. Through your happiness or deepest despair - He is there . Your beautiful words remind me Gina. Thank you so very much for this lovely poem. What a gift you have.
