"For God alone my soul waits in silence and quietly submits to Him, For my hope is from Him" - Psalm 62:5
Listen to poem:
Tradition.
Cast aside by noise
As worldy attention
Tears and cloys
Permission.
For generous space
To return to stare
Full into the face
Decision.
To walk a monastic way
Brief encounter
At the start of the day
Listen.
To the space in-between
Where God himself
Chose to intervene
Condition.
The soul and heart
Through stillness
Let the healing start
