Joy of the Lord

Nehemiah 8:10 ~ Then he said unto them, Go your way, eat the fat, and drink the sweet, and send portions unto them for whom nothing is prepared: for this day is holy unto our Lord: neither be ye sorry; for the joy of the Lord is your strength. A soothing silence surrounds me Serenity calling through sensations Of elation that fill me with delight Insights into the whispers of night Where shadows cause me to gasp Away fears who judge me unworthy Elation caresses my spirit with hope Whispering soft caresses into my heart Which discovers the greatest joy within The pleasure sought beyond material things Wherever God’s hand has touched down Healing, helping, hoping for harmonizing Seeking songs which color the breezes Warm hues of melancholy and passionate Promises which drift on the tides of azure Waters which caress the beaches edges And call out to the passing natives sweet tunes Of fireflies creating a flickering paradise in nature Fresh scents of mystery reveal spirit’s dreams Of creative gestures that welcome desire’s fires Within a morning mist or alive in the night shadows Which breathe music through the gentle air And bring enchantment to the surface of pools Drifting with lush, liquid sighs of pure joy Like a warm embrace, she caresses my soul Knowing there are hopes that keep faith alive Warming the skin with sunshine’s insightfulness Creating poetry and prose along the breaking Of dawn and within the harmony of rainfall Comforting the earth with its beautiful silence The Joy of the Lord is my STRENGTH!!!
