Love silences fear, Uniting hope, joy, peace, Mingling lights, grace Joining hearts in faith, together, Stirring prayers, gentle psalms – Harmonized when souls believe, Jesus, inspiration for giving, Meaningful beyond imagery. Adoration lasting forever, Resembling souls understanding… Love like this convulses calm, Lulling twilight, Breathing shadows, Feelings erasing storms, Darkness hinders meaningful, While wonders grow wings… Enchant souls, Souls enchant, Wings grow wonders while… Meaningful hinders darkness, Storms erasing feelings, Shadows breathing, Twilight lulling, Calm convulses this like love, Understanding souls, resembling… Forever, lasting adoration, Imagery beyond meaningful, Giving for inspiration, Jesus, Believe souls when harmonized, Psalms gentle, prayers stirring – Together, faith in hearts joining, Grace, lights mingling, Peace, joy, hope uniting, Fear silences love.

Your talent is truly mind-boggling. To take such a rigid and uncompromising structure and create a soft, emotional, and comforting poem is astounding. Have a wonderful and blessed day my friend. A fav that must be added to my list.

Love is such a mystical harmony, that combines all the blissful elements of peace and weaves a scintillating symphony of rejuvenated hope.. The way that you've hued these emotions so creatively in this poem.. Ahh, this just amazes me! "Lulling twilight, breathing shadows" Gosh, this is just exquisite.. A truly eloquent poem dear Gina, adore this..
