Thinking on Him

I try to think

of beauty, of love.

I try to focus on something beyond.

Out, away from everything.

He is bigger, He is there

knowing Him requires

thinking on Him.

Wind, waves, work, and woes.

Everything but Him comes creeping in.

The noise crowds Him out

the light expels Him when thinking begins.

The lists of words and things undone

all keep Him away as hard as I try

to think on Him.

A place where all is quiet

does it exist?

Calm

not even bird songs to distract from

thinking on Him.

Within

so far in that nothing

can penetrate.

Not light, or noise

or bird songs.

There where He is

and thinking on Him

can truly begin.

Sometimes we just need to spend some time in meditation on the Lord. It doesn't matter so much where we are physically; whether it is quiet and undistracted, or not. What matters most is that our heart is in the right place. Only then, "thinking on Him can truly begin."
