    Poem Commentary

    Nar’y a place such as this where I am now living could I have imagined.  I love it. I hate it.  I love that at times, I see the beauty of the world around me.  The water out my front window inspires me to be calm this day.  As God promised to bring us to still waters.  I curse it for the responsibilities it creates.  I love that it keeps me busy and driven, but I would so much rather spend my days just sitting by God’s still waters.

    I would appreciate any critique, comments.

    Still Waters

    STILL WATERS

     

    Still waters invite me

                into your space.

    Your loveliness take me

                into God’s holy grace.

    Tho’ winter is nigh,

                still comfort you bring

    To my soul; in this place

                Which is calling

    my heart to its work.

                And tho’ I bemoan,

    that my hands are needed,

                my mind’s focus too;

    I do so that I remain

                close to You.

    I like the peace and comfort this poem brings me! And how quiet it is for the soul to desire the still waters, so calmingly written.

    A prayerful write that calms, how much more we enjoy the still waters after living in the sometimes riptide and undertoe of life and its many challenges. I enjoyed that, thanks for sharing, be well,, k
