Silence
Wrap your velvety cool softness round my soul
Lead me to the place
Where no thoughts or images visit
Surrender me to the open spacious awareness
Of this present moment
To the feel of gentle air on skin
The silent hum of no doing
Cast my eyes upon a picture or thing
Full off calmness and beauty
That fills my soul
With wordless magnificence and majesty
Remind me of my humbleness in this earthly scheme
And of my capacity to be renewed
In this oh so quiet present moment
Grant me surrender of resistance
And story making
Remind me there is still a life living so deep inside
A heart still beating
Capable of riding the tide of life
Capable of responding to what next is required
When silence disappears
Emerging From The Dark Night
