Something touched my heart today

Something soft and calming

What it is I cannot say

Except it was disarming

Something Holy Spiritual

That made me think and say

A long awaited miracle

Would take my breath away

It filled my heart with wonder

And caught my holy eye

To toss concerns asunder

Within its holy high

An aura so delightful

Completely filled my chest

A feeling so insightful

It forced my soul to rest

It was as if a power

Unlike the worldly kind

Had opened like a flower

Within my heart and mind

It must have been a blessing

For all of it was good

As on and on its pressing

Continued when I stood

It walked with me while shopping

This peaceful inner glow

And showed no sign of stopping

Its pure ongoing flow

‘It might be an anointing’

I thought with head held low

A ministry appointing

To which I should let go

A major sign prophetic

Then pointed towards a night

A simple arithmetic

To guide me in God’s light

A perfect indication

Of what was soon to be

A simple affirmation

Of what’s inside of me

It made me think of times behind

Way back in ‘75

When Jesus touched me with His Mind

And made me come alive

A powerful enlightenment

Completely overtook me

A heaven sent entitlement

That really grabbed and shook me

The signs said Thursday next would be

The day on which I know

Why peace persists to fill me

And keep me in God’s flow

So here I sit in reverent awe

Of what I’ve just been given

To wait upon the next new door
Unto a higher heaven
