Soulful Meditation

Be still and calm the hurried soul, Take charge of it and seize control, Such that the fleeting thoughts are calmed, That you're defended and forearmed... And in that spasm of reflection, Grasp the power of direction, Such that holy thoughts inspire Like gold within refining fire, That's skimmed off for a higher use, That God Himself prefers to choose... And as that moment stretches forth, Beyond the west, east, south and north, Transcending what we thought was real, It's then that God can truly heal, For damaged hearts and souls and minds Need all the truths the seeker finds, Who humbles self mid life and death To pause with meditation breath, To span the ever-present now, To cross the bridge to there somehow, Where only love explains it all Mid silent prayer to hear God's call... For who are we, advising Him, When He would fill us to the brim With prophecy and course to take Away from every sad mistake? Behold the glory beyond time, Take comfort in the Lord sublime, To draw back to this broken Earth, To tell the others of His worth And in that telling be amazed, For God is worthy to be praised...

Notes: The poem was written after the reading of the positive poem by Valerie Dohren: Meditation: poemhunter-dot-com/poem/meditation-59/ It leads to all poems: valerie-dohren/poems/ Her poem made me consider the positives that meditation may bring, yet surely the greatest soulful meditation is of Jesus, the Lord of Lords and the King of Kings. This was what Saint Paul regarded as being of the greatest importance ie knowing Him.
