quiet – Rivers Renewed

In the Beauty of the Wind

What we used to know as peace descended last night,

bringing a tangible sense of silence

or at least a quiet to our hearts,

and a wordflow spun,

in the beauty

of the wind.

Whispers of Snow

Whispers of snow quiet my spirit, so I let go of my burdens by releasing a prayer

and somehow, in looking out of my window,

I recognize this feeling….

the peace

I used to know.

Even In This Wildness

Out in the snow today, swirls capture my attention, putting a smile on my face,

for the wind has a lot to say, and even in this wildness

I sense a strong peace

beginning.

Blue Winter Sky

Peaceflow, as if descending from the blue winter sky, calming our spirits,

building our confidence, always speaking

of who we truly are,

while renewing

our strength.

Amen.

The Earth Awakens

The Earth awakens, embracing the freshly fallen snow,

a sense of quiet

holding our poems

and prayers.

The Quiet Spirit

The quiet spirit carries a sense of oceans running within,

unlimited beauty

yet peaceful and confident,

expecting even stronger poems

hidden within,

the restoration

and rest.

Walking Into the Light

Peace finds me leaving the shadows of summer,

walking into the light

of autumn hopeful,

listening to the leaves

with my spirit breathing again,

acknowleding

the colors

God created.

A quiet spirit.

The Silence of Trees

Faded eagle dreams and faded jeans, combing grey hair, boots laced and a light weight camera,

the trails call, moving my spirit beyond crows, rejecting dark wings…I become the silence of trees, and wildflowers holding bees,

where light flickers through the canopy, I seek to know, as anyone could know, the Lord God,

like I did as a young man….

in a place that peace

calls home….

August’s Forest

The comforting dark of August’s forest made it easy to slip

through to the world unseen,

and I was spirit, as if in a dream,

not of false rainbows but of peace,

an amazing depth

I had never known before,

where silence takes us

beyond bravery

as light flickers

through the trees.

A Sense of Wholeness

100_1487

In our heart of hearts, far beyond any wounded love,

rooted still deep within us

we already know the song,

the shape of melodies flowing,

and the peace, the quiet

that carries us into

a sense

of wholeness.
