Array ( [sid] => 136922 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => closer to heaven [time] => 2007-08-23 08:37:11 [hometext] => [bodytext] => The broken hearted
are closer to Heaven
than those who are sure of themselves.

Angels speak
to those who are lonely
in whispers of hope on every breath.

Tears that fall
leave a path
that only God can follow.

Solitude is that place
only one step away
from the footsteps of Jesus.

At the time of our greatest need
He is there.

In our time of deepest sorrow
His unseen arms hold us
closest to his heart.

Our hearts long for that home
where we have never yet stood.

We are homesick
for a place we have never seen
and have never been...
but are aching to go.

In our loneliness
we find the creator
of all
who awaits our weary souls
to look for Him.

Solitude is God
with no other one to equal his being.

Does he alone wait for the time we have to spend with him?

Does he feel as alone as we do
while waiting for us to seek his face?

Boy, something prompted me to read this and I am so glad that I did. This is what was needed tonight.

I enjoyed the entire message, along with the way in which it was written. It flowed with a calm and wisdom, sparked with a talented hand of the pen to bring it alltogether..

peace be yours

~Michelle~

Oh how wonderful! What a beautifully serene piece of poetry!!

I adore the sentiments in the last two lines. Wow. Lovely and profound
at once! There is a certain comfort that all can take from this. And it
is gorgeous.

Stunning write ~
