Joy of the Lord
Nehemiah 8:10 ~ Then he said unto them, Go your way, eat the fat, and drink the sweet, and send portions unto them for whom nothing is prepared: for this day is holy unto our Lord: neither be ye sorry; for the joy of the Lord is your strength.
A soothing silence surrounds me
Serenity calling through sensations
Of elation that fill me with delight
Insights into the whispers of night
Where shadows cause me to gasp
Away fears who judge me unworthy
Elation caresses my spirit with hope
Whispering soft caresses into my heart
Which discovers the greatest joy within
The pleasure sought beyond material things
Wherever God’s hand has touched down
Healing, helping, hoping for harmonizing
Seeking songs which color the breezes
Warm hues of melancholy and passionate
Promises which drift on the tides of azure
Waters which caress the beaches edges
And call out to the passing natives sweet tunes
Of fireflies creating a flickering paradise in nature
Fresh scents of mystery reveal spirit’s dreams
Of creative gestures that welcome desire’s fires
Within a morning mist or alive in the night shadows
Which breathe music through the gentle air
And bring enchantment to the surface of pools
Drifting with lush, liquid sighs of pure joy
Like a warm embrace, she caresses my soul
Knowing there are hopes that keep faith alive
Warming the skin with sunshine’s insightfulness
Creating poetry and prose along the breaking
Of dawn and within the harmony of rainfall
Comforting the earth with its beautiful silence
The Joy of the Lord is my STRENGTH!!!
