In Silence

In silence A voice calls Straining my ears I seek the direction, the person Straining my mind I seek the origin, the meaning Unpuzzled strangely, I can identify none of these but still… The voice calls from within and from without the voice calls In hope but without expectation I answer with questions “Who calls? Where are you? What do you require of me?” In the silence the wind speaks in the silence the river laughs in the silence the stone sings A voice calls In the stone the God sings in the river the Goddess laughs in the wind Creation speaks A voice calls in the silence Aloud I say “I am here, teach me!” Kim James 8th May 2009
