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 Writing Challenge - 'Q' Words - Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Constance La France Word 1. quiet April 1, 2023
