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

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

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.

St. Augustine words always echo in my heart and your poem exemplified what man should feel especially in these turbulent times. ~~
