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.
Chuck Lennon
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
