Notes About The Poem

Still, Small Voice

Saint Augustine so eloquently stated, “Our hearts are restless until we find our rest in Thee.”

Restless heart, “Listen to the silence”
The whispers of kindness inspiring joy
Wherever it reaches, beyond the wings
Of caressing gentleness, meek and filled
With a breath of tenderness in the air

Restless heart, “Listen to the music”
The notes of compassion erasing hate
Hastening inspiration within the soul
Who listens to the guidance, oh so sure
The light of life falling down from above

Restless heart, “Listen to the grace”
The stirring of amazement flickering 
Through the hues of delight, ecstasy
Waking the hope that lives in the heart
Breaking away from destructive thought

Restless heart, “Listen to the sensations”
Feelings of pure praise singing to the dawn
Raising vibrant shades of crisp crimson hues
Flickering on the winds of praise and worship
From a heart who knows about pure love

Restless heart, “Listen to the murmurs”
Sweet mercy calling through the limbs
Of a forest alive with emerald thrills
Feelings flooding souls with truth and courage
Whimsical sighs of fires raging on the inside

Restless heart, “Listen to the call”
Wisdom hearkens to wishes that fall
Against encouraging thoughts, dreams
That acknowledge the truth within
Reflecting on a serenity that comes from Him

Restless heart, “Listen to the still, small voice”
Of the One who lights the way to love
The One who answers our prayers in a way
That gives our hearts the tranquility
Quiet that comes from His gentle spirit

Restless heart, “Listen to Jesus words”
In Him, find your hope and faith
Your enlightenment, amazing grace
The wonder, the miracle, of knowing
God is love and love is alive, shining bright

John Watt December 30, 2020 at 12:24 AM Gina, I just love all the "listen to..." counsel this gives to the restless heart. There is good spiritual wisdom in this. Psalm 46:10 "Be still and know that I am God". A fave for me. Thank you for all the kind visits to my page, dear friend. May the Lord fill you with the fullness of his blessings in 2021 ~ John

Caren Krutsinger December 29, 2020 at 8:45 AM This is what is so difficult, but completely necessary, my friend. "“Listen to the murmurs”- we have to still ourselves. It's much more difficult now than ever before if you ask me.
