Still, Small Voice

    So, I know that I just posted not too long ago, but I felt the need to write down what I felt at the moment and I'd like to share it. This is a rough set of ideas written down. I was sitting, trying to think, but the tv was on. The lighting and all of the household things around me were kind of blocking my thoughts. I find, so often, that the busy world around me blocks my thoughts and peace of mind. Sometimes it's good to just escape somewhere that's quiet and hidden from the outside world, just to breathe. The places that inspire me most and make me feel more relaxed are often outside, where I can experience the beauty of nature. However, seeing as it is FREEZING outside and it is early in the morning, I have decided that is not the best idea. :)
    I started out with "Still, small voice" because it is a biblical reference. God speaks to Elijah in a "still, small voice". It's often difficult, in today's world, to drown out the outside world and spend time with God. That is where my original idea came from. Anyway, here is my rough set of ideas. :) 

Still, small voice

When can You be heard?

With all the noise,

Where is the soothing silence?

Hate lingers on,

And idols dance before us,

As truth is hidden from before our eyes

By darkness

That casts fear upon our hearts without refrain.

How can we evade this lonesome Darkness

To hear the still, small voice

Our hearts so long for?

The joy is missing.

There is no hope.

Until the noise is vanquished,

And the silence is brought back,

To clear our minds

And hearts

And hear Him calling

In His still, small voice.
