Bob Kimmerling Poet Rhyme

The Quieting of the Soul

It is not the roaring lion 
or the pounding in his chase,
but his nuzzle of affection 
and his tender touch embrace. 

It is not the violent whirlwind 
or the earthquake splitting rock,
but faint playing of the heartstrings 
and the barely sounded knock. 

Although our God consumes with fire 
and terrifies with awe,
the quieted soul of peaceful man 
comes through heart's open door.
