Silence
strips me of the world's distractions
Meditation
covers me with tender touch
My focus
turns to matters beyond the moment
Pain
steps forth only to question Love
Love
opens itself to confusion
Humbly
it offers to share the wisdom it contains
Tenderly
it seeks to break the chains of doubt and wonder
so only understanding
remains
Peace
is what my heart is offered
as truth
enlightens my soul
Thirstily
I drink from cup offered
Once again, I am satisfied
with hope
God, You never cease to amaze me
When I step away from the busyness of life
there You are offering peace, once more
happy to rid my soul of strife
Oh, how I sit in awe of Your beauty
I lay safe in Your arms of love
and suddenly my heart is open once more
and I find, my God, You are enough
I need not things to enchant me
I need not wealth nor fame to make me whole
all I need is Your presence, my ever-faithful God
and then, and only then, do I have complete peace
for my soul
