Quiet Stillness

Quiet Stillness
There two words pervade my life
 consuming the very act of living.
I love these two words
 if it's possible to love words.
The quiet of my heart
 beating softly, rhythmicly, unnoticed
 but sustaining me;
The stillness of my soul,
 meditating, contemplating creation
 and the wonders of the Creator.
The quiet stillness
 overwhelms and enthralls me
 bringing me visions of hope and love.
The sanctuary of prayer is within,
 overcoming all obstacles,
 embracing all potential,
 maintaing and spurring me onward
to who I am
 and giving me promise and hope
to who I can yet be
 in my sacred place,
my quiet stillness.

Hey DM, stopped by for a visit. This is a deeply introverted piece from you. Very beautifully expressed feelings of love and tranquility within. Well done. Be Blessed, Neva
