New! I’m calling this poetry form GRACE TRAIN – the end of first line becomes the beginning of the third line through a stanza with eight lines. Gentle is the leaf that falls, soft As autumn’s breath Soft is the color of fall, whispering Light into the spirit Whispering hope, faith and love Beyond the skies so blue Love like words cannot express Blazing, rustling, sentiments Laughing, healing, hoping time Will leave her thoughts Time pouring out her kindest joy Blessing hearts who know Joy in the song of His glory Know that He is still, sure Glory more wonderful each moment Offering hearts the truth God is wise and filles the skies With a burning bliss Skies in azure, cobalt and beautiful Peace so warm it feels charmed Beautiful like the twilight’s smiling Bringing souls autumn praise Smiling so that all can see His light Passing through, singing grace Wise are those who heed His word Listening for His voice Word of faith, word of promise, prayers From those who know Him, Prayers sublime, hastening through quiet So everywhere, the air sings Quiet are stars and moon, serenity proving He is the One who hears our tears When I don’t know where to turn It is God who brings me home Turn to the One who knows love is more Than just the passing of a thought More beautiful than the autumn’s star Silencing grief, soothing souls Star of light, star so wise, star so bright Bringing hope to the believers His is a love that makes the heart beat With such familiar rhythms Beat so that all the world feels His wonder Bringing alive the splendor of praise Wonder so amazing – we’ll never stop praising Giving Him the honor, the glory Praising so He sees, though we are nothing His love is worthy of everything Everything – He is the answer, the moment Before my soul knew doubt Moment beyond question, tender gesture Fading from the lips in a whisper Gesture of love, sent down from God above So we’ll always be blessed with knowing Above us, there is One who sends us grace The promise of love that will never fade Sing to the night, the autumn holds insight For those who listen to the falling leaves, Insight in believing, insight in the breathing Between two mysteries – maze of seeing Breathing so that only the heart can know The meaning of a love that comes to those Know Him, the only One who can save the soul From eternity without the only love… That means we’ll be living with the Savior, The only ONE who is worthy of our praises, Savior of the soul, Savior whom I know As life giver, way maker, promise keeper Know Him and know love that never ends, Love so alive – love without sin, Ends all strife, making room for the afterlife Never let go of Him – He is like the wind… His spirit forever sends us gusts of grace, Heartfelt hopes, happiness that lasts Grace that fulfills every life, every heart With a wonderful that is never silent Heart beats with an adoration that explains Just like the wind, He silences the pain Explains that love will forever abide Inside those who just stay by His side! Never stop believing – He is all we’ll ever need!
