down time brings me up time
by Shonda Chrissonberryit is in the quiet
that i am reminded of what i don't have
i turned my cell off last night
i needed the stillness
i needed to hear You
for once i sought out the quiet
because
it is in those same quiet moments
that everything i have
comes to remembrance
like a washing of sorts
trying to remove the bad
and replace it with the good
i would like to think
no
let me rephrase that
i know in my heart of hearts
that in those moments
Jesus holds me close
whispering
peace be still
give it to Me
and what more could anyone want
during the quiet
nothing
absolutely nothing

| Posted by El McCandless on 08/16/07 at 12:00 AM Your new poem reminded me of this song. It's by Sherri Youngward, and it's called PEACE. It seems a very fitting song. The lyrics are off to the right, just scroll to "Peace". http://www.sherriyoungward.com/music_sons.aspx |
