A turmoil is brewing,
In my mind today,
An abstract premonition,
That things have gone astray.

This feeling is unnerving,
I feel so ill-at-ease,
A storm on the horizon,
Like a silent swift disease.

How do I confront it,
This subtle insurrection?
Its' source is cloaked in darkness,
With no compass point direction.

On my knees I seek Gods' help,
To lead me through this hour,
By faith, I will see in Him,
His Providential power!

Dennis; You are a wise man that you know where to turn in confusing times. His peace will then be yours. Beautifully written poem from the heart. Love, Sis

Belief is a truth held in the mind; faith is a fire in the heart.

I know that feeling, and it sure is unnerving. We can do all things in Christ who strengthens us. It's a good place to start when feeling that way, lay it at the feet of God.

Great poem!

Hi Dennis,
  Another wise, moving piece from your pen and a wonderful write.  He is the peace in the midst of storms but we must always remember to turn to Him. Free Will, a gift from Him also.  Wonderfully done.

How well I know the feeling, Brother!
I guess we've both been ther-done that!
Isn't nice that we always have someone to
whom we can turn- when our minds & emotions get a little out of kilter! Thanks for this honest & meaningful poems.   David

Faith is an awesome thing.
I really like the words you used in verse one and three.
Keep up the great writing.

Descriptive of the emotions felt before diaster occures.  It's wonderful that your spiritual sensors are sensitive enough to pray and ask God for assistence.  The quiet hush before the storm.  I loved it and I certainly can relate.  Bob <><
