Knowing eye of the hurricane is still, Heart’s tranquil in the void of cessation, Simply allowing God to do His will. All that’s manifest, is God’s creation. The table’s laid, everything’s ready made; Heart’s tranquil in the void of cessation. We search for joy, that with time does not fade; Enabled when we choose to surrender. The table’s laid, everything’s ready made. Have we felt not within, silent thunder? Bliss, as in scriptures, ours for the asking, Enabled when we choose to surrender. Ceasing striving, ending multitasking, We feel heightened rapture, within resume; Bliss, as in scriptures, ours for the asking. Employing free will, to cravings exhume, Knowing eye of the hurricane is still, We feel heightened rapture, within resume, Simply allowing God to do His will. 10-April-2022 AN ORIGINAL TERZANELLE Poetry Contest Sponsor: L Milton Hankins

Thanks Constance, Milt is a perfectionist, so I doubt if this’ll make the grade ~ enjoyed writing my first poem in this form
