Thou has made us for thyself, O Lord, and our hearts are restless until they find their rest in thee. ~St. Augustine
Restless one
pursued by fear
homeless and alone
spill your pain like water
make room for overflowing joy
unending blessing
and come home
for in the shelter of His presence
there is peace
And your heart
will find its rest
in Him.
Joining other poets today for One Shot Wednesday
Deep thoughts, tenderly yet poignantly shared. Nice One Stop Wednesday.
Thanks so much.
Very nice rhythme. I liked it a lot.
Thank you, Kenny.
One of my favorite quotes by Augustine!
Mine, too!
spilling pain and overflowing joy … what a combination and contrast
Can’t be filled without being emptied, right?
I love it that you participated in One Shot. 🙂
And your pine tree makes me smile…
Why does that not surprise me? 😉
Only in Him. Beautiful, Sandy.
Thanks, Kathy.
