Time Alone

Today, I spent some time alone to settle down into my bones. I nestled deep in songs at last, soothed by the choir of loved ones passed. Forgotten was the ache of loss, I meditated on the cross. My mind was clear of lists and worries. My soul at peace was in no hurry. I synchronized breaths with the breeze and God’s empathic voice with ease. I never uttered words of prayer, just listened, in my silence bare. Oh, how the world washes away our innocence to love and play! Our spirits fraught long to seek God, Heaven’s envoy in His ballade. Today, I spent some time alone to feel my soul set free from bone.
