Peace - A Beautiful Fall

In comes His Peace, 

and everything 

within feels like a beautiful fall. 

It’s as if my body 

found a trust 

that has me lifted 

above the shaky ground 

I was standing.  

I stop to breathe it in 

and allow it 

to wave about 

my heart and soul.  

I continue to fall 

as sweetness 

feeds my mind 

and I wonder why 

and how 

did I get so tight.  

Unwinding the tangles 

I made, 

I just give in 

to this trust.  

Love, 

His love, 

whispers as it swells 

to be a cloud 

of friendship about me.  

Telling me 

I am loved, 

telling me I have purpose 

and encouraging me to rest 

in my fall.  

My face drains 

its stiff hold 

and my eyes 

find a pleasure in closing.  

A smile rises 

just enough 

that it changes my countenance 

but not enough 

to give notice 

from those around, 

for this smile 

is from the inside 

coming out.  

It's the heart 

that has begun to smile 

as the fall 

pumps lightness 

to the steps.  

Fear dissolves 

as I feel it 

breaking from me 

piece by piece.  

What was limiting me 

is beginning to merge 

into the substance 

lies are made of, 

nothingness.  

I am left with a dance 

trust choreographs.   

Happy tears escape 

as a sign 

worry is leaving 

for it has no place here.  

Peace, 

the wonders of His love 

painting the life given 

to those 

falling into His Arms.
