Notes About The Poem

Written on May 8, 2025

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

Persuaded


During the worst storms, when the heart mourns and warns, there comes a hope for more, hope for love that is beyond our knowing, love that is overflowing, love that is soundlessly growing ~~~ by the author

The wind sings of silent visions,
	listening to what is meant for her,
the longings of a night’s revisions,
	kissing away the shadows, the fears.

The rain breathes in stillness, gentle,
	soothing away the pain and regret,
blessing the souls who’re sentimental,
	reminding that He provides for each one.

The thunder booms, vibrating the skies,
	teaching the spirit to believe,
even though one falls, soon they arise,
	knowing the wonder of God’s fortifying.

The storm doesn’t cease until time reveals
	the story of a heart who is fulfilled,
the song being sung is a song who surely heals,
	teaching the spirit that love is God’s will.

When the weather leaves it’s note of conviction,
	the night sings of dark’s infection,
there comes One who leaves no contradiction,
	He is the reason I’m ever grateful…

For without His love, I’d be lost – dissuaded
from the beautiful hope His light persuaded.
