Eloquence of the Heart

I've never been the most eloquent of people, indeed most things i write end up going through several rewrites, believe it or not :P The longer the prose, the more the rewrites.

i love hearing people who can pray such encouraging and vivid prayers, you know, the people you secretly hope will pray for you if you go up for prayer, or the ones who can go on and on without getting boring or repetitive.

my prayers are somewhat shorter

i sure God couldn't care less how long the prayers are. however it can be awkward praying for someone and all you can come up with is "God please heal (name of person)" end of prayer.

over time i've learnt to combat this with adding on words of God's love to the end of the prayer, or resorting to praying in tongues (the 'supercalifragilisticexpialidocious' for my heart)

Though sometimes a prayer out loud is not necessary

Words, brilliant though they are, are nothing compared to what i define as the ultimate affirmation of simple unconditional love

A Hug

Don't ever underestimate the power of a hug, cliche and cheesy as that sounds, there is something unbelievably profound in hugs

so without further ado, my first posted poem

Eloquence of the Heart

Words touch my ears, and heal my mind
But my heart, no cure could find
My heart, it knew the words were true
And yet could not know what to do

But feel, an arm around my back
A heart beat close enough to track
They're the keys, they turn the cogs inside
And release the things that tried to hide

I bid hidden tears farewell with a cry
The release I feel, I release with a sigh
The greatest gift, the defeat of harms
Is Love , it's Love wrapped up in arms

and thats all folks, goodnight unto you all:P
