Replying to a comment on:

I'm there (Other) by amanda_dcosta

In the kettle of tenderness the rain sweeps God’s Spirit flows and blessings heap One’s heart now knows no sorrow. In the rainbow of laughter angels dance And move about in peaceful trance Love never sways nor falters. In the nursery of silence graces creep To fill the heart of the one who seeks For quiet restful waters. In the arms of love divine and pure There’s peace and joy; my life’s secure. I’m grazing in green pastures.

Alchemy, as you know, the first line is stolen (I mean borrowed).And the truth is the first line of the third verse too is borrowed. I logged into a poet's help site, and there was this random pick for opening lines. I picked a couple of them and made it the structure for my poem. I also did a dive into meanings and phrases today after you adviced me to look up alternate meanings and what it might suggest. It helped, thanks. And I found out that silence induces a sense of creepiness, or that something creeps in the dark and silence. Why not turn it into something positive esp. when referred to being in a nursery ( a place where children / plants / saplings are nutured. So I thought over it and decided that graces indeed creeps up when we are 'Still' and nutured in the presence of the Lord. do I justify myself for what I wrote? I did give it a lot off thought and study. Alchemy, you were a big help. Thank you.

By the way, the rest of the stuff is totally mine.
