Notes About The Poem

 

 

Heart gentle - Eye mindful

Beneath the moonlight, by the water's edge.
I harken to the songs splashing frogs sing 
and of the whippoorwill, an echoed pledge:
"Be still. Listen. My hand will soon be seen."

Hearts lost in their flesh are merely being.
Gentle souls at war with intuition; 
eye every feeling before agreeing.
Mindful lessons found within affliction.

Faithfully rejoice! Reinforce belief!
When you're walking with God follow his voice!
No greater gift than the gift of relief!
Salvation’s at hand; one taken by choice!

Be still; know that purpose isn't prideful-
My heart is gentle. My eye is mindful-
