My Moments of Silence

           fly away self-will
  fly to the hindermost
       fly out of return reach

  beyond being in control.
        beyond wanting to be heard
                beyond demanding to teach

                        come Spirit of God
                   come show me your way
              come work through non-speech

  in fervent passion
     in humble attitude
        in honesty heard

                             thou my one wisdom
                      thou my one restraint
               thou my one Lord

                                 one in timely thought
                                 one in doing deeds
                                 one with or without words
