Gather Strength In The Island Of Tranquility. Poem by Dr. Antony Theodore

Gather Strength In The Island Of Tranquility.

Rating: 4.7


Relax and be at rest.
Breathe again, breathe easily.

Unwind, come to peace,
find yourself, come to God.

In the silent moments,
gather strength
in the island of tranquility.

Renew our lives.

God speaks at times
first in silence
to our hearts.

God created us
to live in loving companionship
together with him.

For that reason
our hearts shall not be at rest
till it finds peace and joy
in him the only creator.

' God speaks......our hearts' True, I have heard it sometimes, particularly in times of stress and His voice is soothing.

Dear Dr. Antony sir, you have astutely inscribed this poem in a metaphorical base having justification of title 'The Island Of Tranquility.' If we come to God and maintain peace then we can gather strength in the island of tranquility. We should live togethrer with loving companionship by the grace of God. This is really a beautiful poem on peace with nice diction. Thank u for sharing.

Holy Qur'an tells, the very thought of Allah will give peace.So says the Bhagavad Gita(gist of Vedas) and the Bible. So I love all in the name of God, the Creator In this nice poem I hear the sound of Unity.

Amen, Tony. What you say in the last stanza was certainly true for me. It reminds me of something St. Augustine said, something like, our hearts are restless until we find our rest in Thee. Hoping this finds you well in body, soul, and spirit, Glen

Amen.... - - -Relax and be at rest. Breathe again, breathe easily.- - - Our experience of true peace could only come from God Almighty. He is the very essence of tranquility. Without Him there is a sense of counterfeit peace. We at some point in life become aware of the difference between real peace and not real. Thanks for expressing this theme in such a time. Blessings to you always.
