The Invitation

Imagine this
An empty chair
And opposite
Another there

You choose to sit
You have a choice
No movement. No whisper.
Just silent voice

You wait a while
You close your eyes
To calm the spinning..
Break bonds. Break ties

Pretty soon
You're feeling seen
Such clarity
Not like a dream

Sat in the dark
Creative light
Invades your soul
Joyful and bright

The shadows 
Are no longer there
No doubt or shame
Just love and care

Everything 
You've tried to own
Is taken back
To find it's home

Just you
And love
A peace personified
Like a dove

Pure and white
Creative thoughts
Spread wings..
Take flight

You're seen
And there will ever be
A harbour in 
The stormy sea

A friend, so keen
An advocate
A place to rest
Through garden gate

Where peace resides
And love, of course
To meet you in
This still discourse

A chair. A bench..
It matters not
Just find that space and
Book your slot

Bring all you have
Your gifts and more
The broken things
Love can restore

Just come
No need for preparation
That empty chair
The invitation
