My mind used to constantly wrestle with my heart, trying to get between my heart and soul. So, when my heart and mind had a conflict, but my soul was forever resolute; in whom was the resolution, would that be considered a dilemma? Yes, my heart was absolutely willing to do anything, for Your love. But yet a made up mind, would still at times ponder. Ask the question, is the absolute; meant truly willing to do anything? So therefore the heart and mind would forever wrestle; Anything, became the dilemma. To see whether it’s the heart, or the mind; that has the true lasting influence, over the soul!

Your love has such an influence within my soul, the true deciding factor; for any dilemma. The resolve, the tug on the heartstrings. But the mind decided it wanted the freedom to resist, so the dilemma: turned into a tug of war. The mind declared war, against the tug; the mind didn’t want strings, influencing any of the decisions. Why does the mind, always want to get in the way; of the heart? Oh, but why should there ever be a real dilemma? When the heart and mind, is absolutely nothing; without a contented soul. Your love moves the heart, but the mind was not always convinced; that it even wants to be moved, out of the way. So hence the dilemma, but my heart stood firm on the belief; that Your love would forever be the resolve!

Some days it was a knock down, but the same dragged out dilemma. Your love should have never been, what got caught in the middle. The heart wanted what it wanted, and my mind thought it was only about the needs… of the moment. Only to realize, Your love already had; My Affections. My mind was at times in the clouds, but my heart; captured by a gaze. By a heart that was the embodiment of a love, a reflection of true perfection. From the moment this love tugged on my heart strings, the battle for my heart and soul was won. For years, this love has taught my heart; that it’s not about a physical, but an ongoing spiritual battle!

So I had to train my mind, how to take every thought captive. To let my mind know, it will forever be a one sided conflict. The love within my heart and soul, Undisputed. There was a real question to be had, but it was never a true dilemma. My soul, let’s my heart make all the decisions. My heart and mind no longer has a dilemma. It was such a beautiful coming together; to behold the true beauty of this love. The day this love left my heart breathless, leaving the mind completely stunned. To know that the mind, will always be led; by the love within. This love is the forever coach for my heart, the love that instructs my mind; on how to deal with matters of the heart. No more contentious disputes, between the heart and mind. There will never again be conflict resolution initiatives. My heart and mind no longer has; The Dilemma!

Within the stillness, within the quietness of my heart; where the love resides. Within the quietness, the place I sometimes felt unwanted; but yet within the stillness, forever loved. Speaking to myself, how it may have seemed? To me, myself; but I… was never alone, there was a quiet love. I couldn’t see it, didn’t yet know it. Small still were the whispers, speaking love; Encamped within my soul. I could have gone mad, but that was never my destiny. There was a quiet love, breathing; moving within every breath of my heart. One heartbeat, within a resounding love. Within the quietness, within the stillness of my soul; where my heart learned how to breathe!

A heart predestined, set apart to know; how to interpret what can only be heard, through the stillness of the soul. My heart can take no credit, the love that breathes within; This Poetic Love. A Silent River, stirred forevermore; by an ocean of love. A quiet love, resting beautifully within my soul. Watching, hovering, leading; guiding my heart, within the quietness. Asking my heart to not only quote verses, but to show vulnerability as strength. By letting the love etched through the quietness, be the Inspired verse. Not to show proof of an undying commitment, not to show the depth of the love; but show what it truly means, to be a heart unashamed. A heart that has found so much beauty, within a resounding love; within the quietness of my soul. A love that helps my heart to breathe, to a soul forever set free!

Within the quietness, so much was said; but no words needed to be spoken. What resonates, what is heard loud and clear; silent whispers. The love within every capture, is the love penned down; within every verse. Words will never get in the way; between my heart, and every breadth of this quiet love. Whenever I feel overwhelmed, when emotions get the best of me. I retreat to the quiet, to hear a peaceful hush. Within the quietness, where I found my confidence; where my heart found a voice. The Place, where my heart is always left speechless; but it’s now my soul, that’s left forever moved. A child once so reserved, now with a heart; unrestrained. This is The Introduction, welcome to my heart; to The Quiet Love, that breathes within!

• This is the next part to the story that I’m sharing this week. I have also highlighted, and linked some previously told stories; for those who may not have been around when I posted them last year. They all tie into the story at some point. I hope this post, and the others are a blessing!

Say something, so much is said: but my heart is desperately trying to interpret, say something. I am the one, the only; but yet the distance, still overcomes the miles. My heart will never be, what you will it to be. I am just me, won’t you just let me be; me, myself, I… will always love you, I just need you to say something. My heart doesn’t want to follow, it needs to learn how to be led. So teach me, show my heart the example; I know right, but see much wrong. Lead the way, don’t just show which way to find; the road less traveled. Around the bend, but how could my heart have known; the road was so long, and winding? I would have loved, to take the journey together; I needed you, to say something!

Say something, anything; say you, say me. Make my heart understand, break the silence within; don’t leave it broken. Giving up on you, will never cross my heart; hope to die, not an option. I will stumble, I will fall; but that will not be all. I have strength within, yes; I’ll rise again. How can I learn to love, strife was the lesson being taught? Swallow the pride, love covers; love in true harmony. Say something, before it’s too late; time is passing. No, time has passed; you no longer need to say anything. It’s no longer about something; but Someone. My heart has found a love, “The Quiet Love;” that has filled the void. The Reason, why my heart; now has so much to say!

This particular piece is a bit different, it speaks a little to how I felt growing up. I was an only child, an introvert; from a single parent home. I never felt close enough to my mother to open up, express feelings. My grandma and I on the other hand, was very close. I’m sure for my mother, breaking into Fort Knox; was probably easier. Just like Jericho, I was tightly shut up. It took forty years in the wilderness, but the walls started to come down. As a child, I sent many days alone, or feeling alone; even with others around. Family functions I would just sit alone in a corner, watching everyone was my entertainment!

I had a few friends, but TV and music; were what helped to occupy my time, listening to music was my solace. I didn’t know it then, but God was already my everything. Ten years ago when I turned forty, God showed me. That He was watching, hovering, teaching, leading. His great love, was guiding my heart; within the silence. That‘s when I realized, that I was never truly alone growing up. I had a Father, not just a Father; a Daddy. But not just a Daddy, a Friend; closer than a brother, forever loving on my heart. The Who, has My Affection!

Last week’s song Inspired post; You are The Reason. Talks to the Why, the reason why iWrite; the reason there is a why. The next two posts, will also tie into the story!

My precious, Your love is wrapped around, wrapped up around my heart. Tight, the love is tight, snug; with a forever tug on my heartstrings, how it should forever be. Strike up the band, the love will forever strike a cord. A symbol; undying, and forever it will be. Every gaze takes my breath, but it’s also the very same love; how I breathe. How delightful the moments, the waltz; the slow dance with my heart, how precious. Small still, true whispers of love. Captivated, the beauty; what has forever captured my heart. A forever love, nothing else will ever compare. Every encounter, held forever close to my heart!

My precious, Your love is the object of my affection, the presence that moves my soul. The substance, the love my heart will never try to waste. You are, Your love is; everything, a love close to my heart. A true work of art, picture perfect; but so high was the cost. The length and breadth, as far as the east is from the west. A love absolutely priceless, more precious than silver and gold. Forever cherished, so hallowed; my dearly beloved. Lord, Your love is a treasure, truly a precious love; beyond all our wildest dreams. Precious, forever this love; the love within my heart. A true symbolic expression, of Your heart!

Your love is so renowned, it has such an essence; the beauty takes my every breath. Just to breathe, is to forever be alive; within the loving embrace. To journey into, is a true journey beyond. Infinite, becomes the never-ending journey; to rediscover. I can tell a thousand stories. Your love can endlessly be talked about, by my heart; but one truth would absolutely remain the same. The beauty of Your love, is wrapped up within an endless love story; called grace!

A true love, a Renowned beauty; a story told over and over, forever by so many hearts. My heart knows of this love, so much so. That it has become so Renowned, throughout my being; my very heart and soul. It would be utterly impossible, for my heart to ever be separated; to ever deny, the presence of Your love. The aroma, the fragrance of the love. The resonating beauty within Your heart; breathtaking is the true essence. So much style, abounding with so much grace; the beauty, truly Renowned!

Sometimes I have to question my own heart; “what have I done, why me?” But then I realized, it wasn’t about me; I did nothing. Your love has always been in relentless pursuit of my heart. But it now seems, my love is chasing after Your heart. Every day this Renowned beauty, continues to be what draws my heart; closer to this undying love!

Sound the trumpet, Your love came into my heart; making me into royalty, the changes are from within. This is my story, this is my song; Your love is the sweet melody upon my lips. Your presence will now and forever be, what’s so Renowned; within my heart and soul. God, Your love is Renowned; it’s my heart, that knows it so well. For me to display how truly Renowned, my heart must; wear it well!
