Serenity

Section: 
prayers

 

Spiral your call,
My gentle God,
Into the chaos of my self,
My world.
Calm my heart,
My mind.
Linger
In the deep recesses of unknowing,
Filling wells of fear and doubt
With God-love balm
That soothes and heals
The jagged edges of self-doubt,
Wells of peace that overflow
Into our sharp and shattered world
And bring your soothing calm
To heal your wounded world.
