In Praise of Peace - 1

From the stillness, the quiet The silence that falls On the heart and soul Whispering joy, love and hope From the tender whisper Of a butterfly As it kisses a daisy Or the moment when a Morning dewdrop Slides over a petal From the breath of light Reflected on dawn’s Soft echo From the sigh, the whisper, The precious glimpse Of feeling On God’s azure sky On the caress of a raindrop As it plops onto my shoulder Over the soothing air As a gaggle of birds gather From the heart and soul Where only God can know There comes a peace That exceeds all understanding A peace that leads me Toward a life of gentleness A thought of inspiration A shadow of exaltation Sweet prayers and praise Come in waves as the peace Fills me, frees me, floods me This is peace that believes in three The Father, Son and Holy Spirit Given as God’s generous gift to me Philippians 4:7 (KJV) And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
