Quiet
In the quiet of a summer night,
Hope rises like the stardust sprinkles
Coloring the sky with music,
Spoken aloud like a poem who stirs
The winds, the rain, the storm
Beneath the shadows of heaven’s grace
Whispering life to the eternal flame,
Alive like the stars, glistening through
The past, the present – tomorrow
Forever….
With baby steps, the light shines
Luna swooning, hesitating past the gentling,
Kind dreams abiding in the miracles,
Wonders in passionate joy,
Kindling the burning, the music
Intimate and alive like the historical
Tears, the rhythm – the rhyme
Arising from the teardrop hopes
The pieces of laughter inspiring the
Wishes ….
In purity, where sacred
Shares its never ending grace,
The prayers, the praise – the artistry
Of faith – blessed, blessing
Erasing the past, forgiving the sin
Who darkens, doubts – in dread,
Fearing the ending and even the beginning
Where the pain starts to silence
Even the good things, the wonderful
In the life who knows the dance
Is like a paradise rising, intimacy
Flooding…
Inspiration in the loving
Tendencies briefly intimate,
Sunset promises, secrets
Aware of all the twinkling
Encouragement of a hope, a supplication
For the wonders, the joys
Brilliant in the colors, hues of
Imagination, braving the storms
So laughter assaults the quiet
With satisfaction, rare beauty
Flowing…
In the spirit – there is a serenity
Soft – quiet peace, bursting
With tranquility, arising in the life
Beyond the stardust praises –
Beneath the risk of awakening
The One who created this way for us,
This lasting grace in us… silence
Fading through dreams –
Quiet…
Just breathe… quiet
