My poem “Deep and Calm” came to me while I was meditating on the words “deep and calm” that God gave to me as I was imagining my time with Him.
I have been in this personal spiritual formation journey with my God for a while over the last several years and the most precious time has been those deep and calm places of “togetherness”.
I could see me sitting deep down under the ocean next to Jesus and it felt so calm and peaceful. I could forget all about the world and enjoy His presence with me. We were just hanging out and relaxing down under the deep sea.
Here is my poem, “Deep and Calm”:
Deep and Calm
Deep and calm
Deep and clam
That’s what I want my soul to be
Lord, take me deeper into my soul
So deep, it is so calm
Deep and calm
Deep and calm
That’s what you want my soul to be
Lord, help my soul to sit with You
So deep, it is so calm
Deep and calm
Deep and calm
That’s where we want to be together
Lord, nothing will separate me from You
So deep, it is so calm
Deep and calm
Deep and calm
This is where my soul finds rest
Lord, I want to stay with You here
So deep, it is so calm
Growing My Relationship with God
I was reminded of the depth and calmness of the deep sea. It was a reminder and invitation that Jesus wanted to take me further in my soul journey.
Yes, I want my soul to sit with Jesus and stay with Jesus deep within — not being moved at all by anything or anyone of this world.
You see, I believe that we are created in God’s image and we are also meant to live our life in union with God. We don’t have to wait until we get to heaven to be with God, see God, and live in His Kingdom. It is available to us here and now on earth.
Jesus came to this world in human form to show us how to have this relationship with God. Of course, He opened the way for all of us through His death on the cross and his resurrection, so that we can live forever with God.
Do you remember the Lord’s prayer in Matthew 6:9-10? “Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven”? This is the prayer that Jesus taught His disciples when He was on earth.
He asked us to pray that God’s kingdom come, God’s will be done on earth as it is in heaven. I believe that God’s kingdom is where God is ruling. As I am learning to give my heart over to my God and learning to surrender my life wholly to Him, I am experiencing His kingdom in my heart and in my life.
What a joy, peace, and love it brings to my heart! I love to share my journey with those who are desiring to go deeper into their souls. I have been so blessed with abundance and peace on this journey, I would love to see others experience this also.
Looking forward to this journey with you!
One of the resources that I share here with you is the Master Key Experience Program because it was this self-discovery program that opened me up for the deeper journey within.
I would strongly recommend anyone who is desiring to live life on purpose and for purpose to sign up for the upcoming Master Key Experience program.

great poem, love the creativity!!
Thank you, Ahern!
Ms. Esther, the analogy of the ocean added a true depth to the poem and the words Deep and Calm delivered a peace and I thought about when Jesus was on the boat and the disciples asked ” Do you care that we perish” and Jesus rose and spoke to the sea “Peace be still” Deep and Calm resonates beautifully! great job.
Yes, Roosevelt, it’s so true of Jesus being so calm Himself in the midst of the storm and was able to calm the storm with His words. His peace is the perfect peace, isn’t it?
This is beautiful Esther! I feel more at peace just reading this poem.
Aww, so nice to hear that you felt at peace just reading the poem. Thank you for such an encouraging words, Arlene!
