A little over a year ago, Ana submitted a devotional called *“Fully Known and Truly Loved”* [(read that here.)](https://devotionaldiva.com/devotionals/fully-know-truly-loved/?ref=dd.malinoix.com) and this year, she said she was working on some poetry. I feel like Ana’s poem, *“Where There Is Peace”* is such a good companion piece to that first devotional about God’s love for us!\] **Where There Is Peace** I want a garden to watch plants grow into what I should be Healthy and whole, entirely free I want to paint, to create worlds, in colors only found in the heavenly I want to work hard at putting the earth back to how it should be How it was before it fell What I know it could be I see potential in everything I want to plaster photos on walls of trees to remember that despite the chaos There are perfect little moments in between Untouched by sin Unsigned by heat I want to read words that describe worlds where all is well And hear stories of pain that is not my own But comforts me in knowing I am not alone I want to string together words that paint pictures of perfection in your mind not any two visions alike Every desire inside of me to create here points to the eternal embedded in me I long for what once was, what should be, and what is in another world already But I fear I’ll mistake my longing of that world for something here presently I’ll try to find that feeling in a person, a place, or a thing I’ll imagine experiences not yet had as true purpose and in the end be disappointed I’ll confuse the physical for the spiritual I’ll place too much pressure on what I can see And in the end watch it break apart under the weight of my desire for it to fulfill me Slip through the cracks because it was not meant to be held onto so tightly There are no solutions from what I can see So I’ll wait for the Maker to put it back together Brick by brick Piece by piece I’ll wait for the builder to use gold to pave our streets Wait for the shepherd to find His sheep Behind all of this, there is a King He holds the keys to freedom and He Himself shall be our peace [![Ana Nunez](https://dd.malinoix.com/content/images/wordpress/2018/04/image_6483441-150x150.jpg)](https://dd.malinoix.com/content/images/wordpress/2018/04/image%5F6483441.jpg)Ana is a freelance writer & English major.
