Jenna Logan Poet Terza Rima

In Morning's Sweet Silence

"Like the silence that screams cursing solitude . . . 
whispers of faith sing patiently with prayers."  
                                             Quote by: Regina McIntosh



When the world seems to be asleep at dawn's blush 
and sweet silence lends me an attentive ear
I pray in undertones of a whispered hush

Doves in chorused unity; their trills I hear
In splendid harmony they sing as day breaks
Deep within my heart, I know that God is near

As though in sunrise stillness, His presence makes
my faith strong enough to touch my trenchant soul
In those solemn moments, my piety wakes

I feel His blessing to comfort and console
At morning's spill, I'm with my Father, my Friend
instead of floundering in a shallow shoal

All the troubles in my harried heart transcend
I take delight in humming a calm refrain
envisioning life in Eden, without end

For that I'm thankful to the One who was slain
Jesus Christ, the Day Star, risen to the skies
Son of God Almighty, who'll forever reign

Hope descends to me; on Angel's wings it flies
sent to enhance my faith in the Lord above
I greet it each morning with exultant cries

Grateful for the mercy I'm unworthy of
and honored to offer Him my steadfast love

Tom Cunningham January 22, 2021 at 11:22 AM A lovely verse that reads like a prayer, I used to get up at 0300 for work and for a few hours I had the world to myself. Still wake at that unholy hour and have a cup of coffee then back to bed, retirement is bliss. Tom Jenna Logan January 22, 2021 at 12:58 PM Since waking so early has become habitual, I've learned to enjoy it, too. Thank you, Tom. It's a sedative preparing me for the day ahead...not retired.
