Take a breath
Don’t go too fast
Or you’ll miss the things
That really last
God is calling
Every day
“Be still, renewed,
In My embrace”
But in the buzz
Of our busy lives
We fail to hear
That still, small cry
We look for peace
For thrills, for love
In the world around us
But not above
So look up, be still
And see His face
Fall into the arms
Of amazing grace
Breathe in His peace
Breathe out His love
Be still in the presence
Of our Father above
Be still, and know that I am God….
(Psalm 46:10a)
Be still in His presence today, and know that you are loved!

You have such a powerful writing gift Christrocks! This poem is a superb testament to the peace and perspective God brings when we take the time to just be still and focus on him…. A great piece, with lots of rhythm and ‘momentum’. Nice work!

Thank you so much! I really enjoy writing poems. đ I think that, particularly with poems, God often tells me what to write. With this one, for example, the first four lines just popped into my head out of nowhere. He works in mysterious ways! đ

Yeah, i don’t see writing poems with no rhyme or measure as very… Noteworthy. If you like poetry, my entire blog is nothing but hundreds of poems; I write dark poetry, but I am a Christian. So it’s about reconciling darkness and struggle with faith.

That’s awesome! I will check out your blog as soon as I get the chance! I feel the same way. I struggle to read “poetry” that doesn’t have any kind of rhyme or rhythm to it.

Though after a hundred or so rhyming ones, i have been exploring other styles, just to say that i did. Rhyming still makes it.
