Peace of Mind
I stumbled across a poem that I wrote during a small crisis about fifteen years ago. While reading it, I recognized that 11 of 15 things mentioned were from nature. This was not intentional, but it’s no accident.
“For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse” (Romans 1:20).
From my artistic side, I hope you enjoy “Peace of Mind.”
PEACE OF MIND
A smooth body of water
A child’s head on a pillow
A low setting sun
A large weeping willow
These are some things that bring peace to mind
A hallelujah chorus
A daily devotion
A palm branch in the breeze
A full moon o’er the ocean
These are some things that bring peace to mind
A calm flowing river
A waterfall fountain
A rigorous climb
An enormous mountain
These are some things that bring peace to mind
Snowflakes on a branch
White sand on the beach
A soaring bald eagle
Flying far out of reach
These are some things that bring peace to mind
Peace of mind is what I seek
Peace of mind to make me whole
Peace of mind I will not find
Until God’s peace is in my soul
This is the thing that brings peace to mind
-Jim McNeff
