INTO THE SACRED SILENCE

INTO THE SACRED SILENCE

My God, My All, My All Round.
Deep, deep, calling to deep.
Lost in a sea of forever God,
     a sea of forever mercy, a sea of forever love.
Senses suspended.  Serenity.  Silence.

 God becomes the silence.
In this quiet, which is more than quiet,
in this silence which is God,
     one is enveloped and consumed,
     not by fire, but by silence.
The soul is set free in the sea of infinity.
It enters into the sacred silence - into the heart of God.
And it rests.

There are no words, no new revelations,
     no still, small voice.
One does not question.  One does not ask
     "What is the Lord saying today?"
There is no clutter or noise of speech.
There is only eternity, foreverness,
     only silence,
the silence which is God.
