A restless soul looking for peace.

Thursday, July 24, 2008

Seeking

I looked to the hills
The valley below
For peace and rest
Balm for my soul

I looked in the skies
The clouds they made
But night would come

The skies would fade

I pondered the stars --

The Milky Way

But stars would die

At break of day

I looked with my heart
For One, Who's meek
And found close by
The One I seek

My soul is at peace
Why should I fear?
My soul is at rest
When God is near

© August 1980, S. K. Smith

Your poem provides us the reality of life. In faith we learn our fate. We do not need to find the meaning of life anywhere, it has been with us since the time we saw the first light. And I can see that you found it already.

Enjoy life to the fullest.

Susan,

I bought and read your new book, Sam at the Crossroads, where this poem is found. She said that, knowing I am interested in the geology of the northwest, I would find some interesting information in your book.

She was correct. I recognize the region you describe in the book and did find that aspect of the book most interesting, but I have to admit that I enjoyed the story as well. You have an interesting character in Sam and I enjoyed meeting her and sharing her "adventures". Thanks for the good read. I look forward to your next publications.
