Religion in the public square is becoming an endangered species. - Mathew Staver the lavender moon, in silhouettes of blue paint my thoughts in melodies, hues of grace and gentle peace, silent flow tulips, roses, lilies blowing in the wind, who breaths her hope across the meadow, laughing, dancing, singing wistful in trembling verses, stirring the delicious vision of gifted words, healing hopes that break away from the past shatter the shadows with an overcast sky, burdened by melancholic gray, broken by the memories who prey on the spirit, the soul, the wisdom of a knowing… dressed in aster’s kiss, flames of gold hesitating, burning away the doubts, flavoring the heart with a feeling, flowing beyond the still, cool crispness autumn’s elation, praising, amazing chanting to the moon, the stars blessing the thoughts of those who hear her, whispering, rustling through September, passing by the rust colored truths, embracing the silence and erasing the fear, who comes to those hearts listening to the rarest crackling of a tear, edged in grief, distant calamity… testing the waters, challenging the thoughts who hear her mysteries, unconscious bias, darkening the wings who soar over the dreams, fighting back the urge to forget the joy that sees through the catastrophic brink insanity, the folly beneath the doubts, the fears tears blended with salty songs, quietly pleading, praying, praising because He is never wrong His love leaves the moment calm, soothes away the distant panic, replacing her phobia with assurance… He is silent, while blessings fall over the spirit, in secret promises, forever written on the heart who sees Him, in the secret places, always saving souls from the darkness of eternity without hope, eternity without love… unconscious bias tells me, forever I’ll sing the song of thanksgiving because, with this love He reveals I know what it is to be fulfilled, I know what it is to be assured, I know what it is to be loved, with love that is my soul’s joy, love that is the moment I knew the light of the world, the light that is pure, the light that glows so I know the wonder of reflecting the love that grows and grows… so I know – He is living, deep in my soul!

This is quite captivating (fav) and I love that it is like wrestling with truth and faith but against an enemy, internal, maybe external, yet reclaiming the known truth (that some see in the 'secret place') that we are loved beyond anything. There is pain, hardship, true. But love is always the overwhelming superior, enduring power. This is quite beautiful and I will treasure it Regina. Thank you S:) x
