He who is filled with love is filled with God himself.


Saint Augustine
.............................................................................................................

 

The autumn mist hangs suspended across the tree tops

a raven croaks its plaintive cry, upon the templar watch tower

as I meander down the hedgerows and byeways

listening for the drum of your love, reverberating on my heart

I view the divisions of time, on the silohuetted skyline

as the swirlings energies of life, surround my very soul

I pick some wild berries in the brambles, for sustenance and strength

and I am utterly determined, to realise all my goals and objectives

I have never needed the company, of another living soul

to be content within myself, with comforting peace of mind

scurrying rabbits, break cover and dart across the lawn

the game of life, can end without a single sound

to be aware, of the subtle changes and shifts of tempo

is what seperates, the survivor from the slain

I observe with grace and silence, events upon the ground

synchronising my breathing, to the thought waves in my mind

as all around me, the dance of destiny is slowly unfolding

it is not what you do, that really matters to the outcome

for I have found, it is the spirit incarnate of itself

that decides and resolves , every single throw of the dice

My father used to say, "Stay close to nature and you will stay close to God." Your poetry always reminds me of such wisdom, Peter. Thank you for sharing your gifts. Love and peace to you,

Good One 'Spirit Incarnate' I like that 'I have never needed the comnpany of anyone else to be content with myself and to find conforting peace of mind. " That is how I live my life, with God you are never alone.. Treat people as you would like to be treated but listen only to the advice of God, that little voice within. Marguerite

Have no idea why, but this piece reminds me so much of my new home territory close to the sea; a place of heathland and mysterious Norman castle ruins rising out of the mist where I can stand in a long cape with massive hood and become invisible to all but my own longings and thoughts... This write compels and calls, like a lover's name upon the winds... And we would rather starve or feed upon berries than to relinquish the force of it.... Can feel a pome comin on...!! LOL Kapewrapped Kate xx

The abstence of love will cause many people to act in certain ways and many will be addicted to somethiong that will temporarily make them feel good. This is a well expressed write and thanks for sharing this with us all here on the Den.

How true. Very little is given to chance in our lives. Glad to find yet another writer quoting Augustine. The one I relate to and it is in keeping with your poem, is his thought that man is a wandering soul without love in his life. I worked with guys with drink problems and found on not a few occasions that it was the absence of love that was the main cause behind the can in the hand.

Joseph is absolute right here, Peter, this so "soothing" and comfortable. Nature is not just a casual evening journey here. You are enveloped in the quiet resound and the glory of the rabbit's slightest movement, all significant in the synchronicity of life and the wisdom of His spirit. This one wraps you in the security of acceptance and belief, and rocks gently.
Love and friendship,
Taylor

Intensely vivid like a feral animal in a jungle the authour pulls us with him as he hunts for release in this one and finds it in his realization of the spirit incarnate. Well done Peter.
