Flesh and spirit
At war
One against the other
I thirst
From the battle that
Rages on
I long for waters
To satisfy
My soul pleads
For rest
For peace
For grace
Tag peace
Praise
An Acrostic Poem
Prayers from my heart
Reach the One whom I
Adore and in his mercy
I receive love and grace
Supplied abundantly –
Everlasting peace
Unsettled
An unsettled cloak settles over my unpeaceful mind – furious teeth gnawing at disintegrating harmony, an inner life in strife with the natural, heaven and earth, dark and light, black and white, peace and war, tears and smiles, confusion and conflict reigning, God be with me, and with us all.
Inner Peace
Looking outside
And wanting more
More and more
Comparing
Desiring
Lusting
Needing.
Envy and
Strife
Wield their power
Force their might
Battle my soul
For my heart
My life.
Love
Joy and
Peace
Sound their song
And through their
Stillness
I am strong.
Beyond Confusion
Beyond my confusion, doubt and fear
I know there is a higher power watching over me
I am not left alone, for in the stillness of my heart
My heavenly Saviour ever does draw near
Finding Peace
I will not obsess
Will not wait for you to say yes
Will live my life
Without a care
Knowing what will be will be
Finding the peace inside of me
Waters of Love
Floating in a pool of bliss
Carried by waves of peace
Supported by waters of love
Still Waters
Fighting
Pushing
Shoving
Families torn
Hearts betrayed
Manipulating
Bitching
Threatening
I take a moment
To be still
And see the water
In a glass
In front of me
Whisper
All joys this earth could bring
The depths of endless sea
Wind in sheltering trees
Could never separate
Thy child from Thy grace
I feel Thy presence
Surrounding me
Whispering
I am protected
I am loved
Safe, at
Peace
Vision
From the depth of valleys deep
A vision rises into view
Of peace and hope that’s mine to keep
My whole heart and soul and more
Accepts the vision of thy grace
I will forever thee adore
