Silent
Thunder

At play
Within

One hand
Clapping

Divine
Caress

For us
Alone

Currents
Cascade

Bliss beats
Resound

Rapture
Heightens

Silence

God's grace
Descends

What's there
To say

We need
To feel

Imbibe
Bliss throbs

By touch
Within

This path
We each

Must tread
Alone

Making
Heart soft

Childlike
Pristine

Gentle
Porous

Then truth
Is known

By touch
Wisdom

That none
Can shake

Since we
Become

The light

Urgent
Relaxed

Replay

Desires
Dark fears

Shaping
Our life

Bubbles
Of bliss

Warmth and
Shelter

More and 
Yet more

Desires
Endless

Spawned by
Our heart

Childish 
Fickle

Goalposts
Shifting

We strive
And toil

Until
We tire

Life gift
Wasted

For we
Find not

That joy
Lasting

So we
Go in

Silence
The way

All thoughts
Rested

When heart
Is still

Divine
Currents

Begin
To rise

Let’s smile
Awhile

Without 
Reason

Devoid
Of thought

As bliss
Pulsates

Within
Our form

Feeding
Our soul

With love
Sublime

By day
And night

Magic
Of love

Pervades
Our heart

As we 
Transmute

To so
Become

The flame

Praise God*
soul’s nod…

Love glows
joy flows…

Stop whines
heart shines…

Great hope
trust’s rope…

Seek peace
pangs cease…

Grace blest
faith’s zest…

Smite doubts
thank shouts.

We are
Alone

Sans thought
We’re free

Silence
Deepens

We then
So feel

Currents
Purring

Soft white

Bursts forth

All souls
