Be still my son
Be calm, be kind
your measure, your merit, weighed in time...

"But how can I rest? Peace, can I find?
or fight an enemy that stabs from behind.
my enemies are numerous outnumber by nine
why must I suffer such torment unkind?"

Be calm, relax
for treasure that lasts
is all in my hands
a tethered sail that never slacks

your mind is clear, your patience divine
your spirit is quiet, your hear my mind

Great message!!
Often times we try too hard to control what is so far out of our control.
Not an easy lesson to learn.

Always enjoy your writing, Martini man.

...a spiritual dialog. Safety is not always apparent when facing an enemy. The presence of love here in the words is comforting and assuring, when the harsh winds blow. I like this very much!
