It is peaceful, it is quiet, it is perfectly still
I thank God for his solace for of the World I have had my fill
My moments seemed to be locked together in an endless stream, like DNA
Streaming together like a beautiful river in which a child would want to play.
Undeniably filled with divine peace from the wisdom of your word
Overflowing with purpose that most might find completely absurd
A walking contradiction broken hearted yet finally whole
Keeping in mind that this world takes it’s tole.
Perfect trust gives me confident peace in whatever may come
I might not know it all, but I know more than sum
In Gods creative mercy through flames that purify
Reaching the parts unseen to the naked eye
From the dirty ugly ashes, the world had discarded
Emerged the vibrant ruby he had intended when he started
The rubies beautiful colors sparkle and shine
Gods perfect love shinning from heaven divine
Understanding better now in the trials I endured
Unable to remain the same after the fire occurred

You could hear the murmur of worried voices like a heavy cloud that swept back and forth in the winters breeze. Demons?
