"Just Listen"

"Just Listen"   God speaks to us in so many ways. The sun, the clouds, the morning haze. And the brilliant colors...of the setting sun; Colors in a rainbow, when "His" promise comes.   The beautiful smile, upon a child's face, Promises of "His"...love, mercy and grace. Streaks of lightning...in a thunderstorm, The sun's sweet rise, on a dim morn.   A " still...small voice" inside of the heart; Calling, "Come to me, do not depart." The "drawing" that will not leave you alone, Until you stop....listen...and then come "Home."   The wind blowing through the leaf filled trees. A presence felt...when down on your knees. One bird's sweet song, through an open door; A deep longing...to listen for more.   Words spoken in church, on a Sunday morn. Promises from the "Book"..."He" will not leave you forlorn. Just take a look at.....the earth, animals and sky; All created...by just a voice, from the "One On High."   Please stop and listen to that still small voice, Your heart will soon open, and forever...rejoice, Just turn your face...into a strong wind; And...listen to all of the "words"...that come from 'Him."   Written by Valentine   [under copyright]

I agree.
"Please stop and listen to that still small voice,
Your heart will soon open, and forever...rejoice,
Just turn your face...into a strong wind;
And...listen to all of the "words"...that come from 'Him."
We need to listen to the internal thoughts. Thank you dear Poet for sharing the excellent poetry.

Leslie, we all have something we are thankful for. We also have had things happen in our lives we wish we could change. We need to be grateful if we have a home, food, family, etc. and stop crying because we aren't millionaires.. Kathie

People hate the country because it is too quiet. If they stopped to really listen they would hear God's music blowing through the trees along with the birds adding their own sweet melody. Kathie

Hi Kathie, this is beautiful :) I love nature and I see and feel it as the creation of a higher power. I don't practice a religion, but I respect everyone's beliefs, and I DO know there is a supreme consciousness that lives in all of us.

To me, nature is God's beautiful paintings. He is a masterful artist.

This piece makes the reader think of what's important in life. Your expression or words in this piece were exquisite and displayed exactly what you wanted the reader to gain from this piece. Thank you for sharing with me Valentine, I really appreciated reading this and thinking what is more important.

If we just look around us, God is there as He created all of earth's beauty. Not the junk piles, the hills, valleys, skies. etc. Kathie

God's grace is abundant. He can be seen everywhere.
Beautifully written.

Another lovely poem Kathy filled with His spirit. Perhaps, you are anointed in his word spoken poetically

The only thing special about me is I am His. Kathie
