Heart Smiles


Gentling hues bless my hungry soul
Dazzling sensations who make me whole
Fragments of joy, shards of my muse
Bless my hungry soul, gentling hues

Darkness falls down, like autumn leaves
Bestowing compassion for one who believes
His light is alive in stars, the night’s crown
Like autumn leaves, darkness falls down

Shadows flowing, reflecting all my dreams
Liquid oasis, secrets in beautiful themes
Wonders alive as my love keeps growing
Reflecting all my dreams, shadows flowing

Like the breathless wind, nuzzling my cheek
Joy in shades of grace silence every critique
Mystery and hope mixed together, combined
Nuzzling my cheek, like the breathless wind

Without the Lord above, I’d be lost in dread
It was for my redemption that He came and bled
His grace brought me peace and abiding love
I’d be lost in dread without the Lord above

A very inspiring poem of thanksgiving, Gina. Reversing the first and fourth lines of each stanza adds to the prayerful aspect. Congratulations on your win on Mile 15 of my 2022 Poetry Marathon Contest. Keep your running shoes on, because Mile 16 has already started.
