I close my eyes
And sink deep
Into a calm pool
Of gratitude and devotion ...
I am immersed
In quietude ~
Permeated by a
Loving, Holy Presence.
There are no words,
For they are unnecessary.
The Silence holds
Everything
In Its No-thing-ness.
I am nourished,
Uplifted,
Held,
Soothed,
Caressed,
Comforted,
Affirmed,
Purified,
Wholly Loved ~
By the permeating Presence.
Myriad thoughts float above
Along the surface
Of this deep, calm pool
Of gratitude and devotion.
I barely notice them ~
For the permeating Presence
Draws me deeper and deeper
Into Its Loving Silence.
There are no words ~
For they are unnecessary.
The Silence holds
Everything
In Its No-thing-ness.
