Companionship With God

I sit in upright chair feet firm on ground Hands held in form of prayer as I intone Phrase taken from the Psalms, without a sound ‘My soul, wait silently for God alone.’ Thus seated many things seek to distract Intrude my mind; I’ve learned to let them go In imagined stream before me, it enacts a cleanse; while on its bank I watch the flow As objects of this world all seek to enter Days striving to relax and just to be I would repeat the phrase, in need to centre Growing in awareness God is there with me. While with language as with flesh the spirit girds Warm companionship with God goes beyond words 30 March 2020
