Speak to my Heart, poem by Peter Menkin
by Peter Menkin I have waited on the Lord, In the stillness of my mind. In the music of a hymn, In a conversation with a friend. It is in the loveliness of a flower, And the color of the light of day Lost in a prayer from the prayer book, I have waited on the Lord. My friend, it is the pleasure of life, The knowledge in simplicity of knowing One another, and even the times that come looming To the psyche of trials and fears in a tunnel Where confinement of spirit and mind Make the soul weep and wonder That there is comfort in knowing you Are there, Lord. Speak to my heart.
