A soothing melody
Invaded my daydream
Gently flowing
Like a singing stream
It teased my thoughts
It disturbed my reverie
It opened my eyes
It shook my lethargy
It came and went
And it was haunting
I was captivated
It increased my longing
I closed my eyes
To capture its essence
It filled me with bliss
I felt His presence
Omniscient
All pervading
Love ineffable
Ever aiding
His Divine grace
Soothed my soul
My appetite insatiable
For His love and to extol

Our love for the Lord is so fragile
It waxes and wanes like the moon
But His love is steadfast without guile
Eternal, and ready to grant any boon

ReplyDelete(First poem) I've been awake since 3:15 this morning. Went back to bed at five but couldn't sleep. Day dreamed and prayed; slept for about fifteen minutes and then couldn't sleep anymore so I got up and linked my blogs this morning. They had auto-posted at midnight.
