Stillness

This beautiful poem, Stillness, was sent to me by a reader. He gave me permission to share it with you.

Suzanne:
I completed Amish Peace last night (I started it over and read it through with my wife).
Several times I was reminded of this poem I wrote a number of years ago, and thought I'd share it with you...
It was particularly brought to mind when reading about David Kline and his walk with God.
I hope you enjoy it.

STILLNESS
In the depth of the woods where stillness abides

Where peaceful hearts wander and quiet resides

The anxious will gain

A calm that sustains

In the depth of the woods where stillness abides



On the breadth of the plains where stillness expands

Where peaceful hearts journey 'cross wide open lands

The fretful will find

Great solace of mind

On the breadth of the plains where stillness expands



On the height of the mountains where stillness endures

Where peaceful hearts search for a hope that assures

The fearful will know

Peace not found below

On the height of the mountains where stillness endures



In the presence of God where stillness dwells best

Where peaceful hearts come to the end of their quest

The hopeless will see

The Lamb who sets free

In the presence of God where stillness dwells best
