IN SILENCE

In silence I hear the choir singing

The song of ages. I've learned to listen

As silence mends my soul like

The very Hand of my Savior.

Silence ushers me to the

Gurarded tomb where soldiers

Knew that the crucified One lived--

That the grave could not keep

Him down.

In my quiet time I am healed from

A past where my burden was

Unbearable . In silence I hear "My

Yoke is easy and My burden is light."

(Matt. 11:28-30).

In silence I look into the eyes of

Love and I know that love is not

About the object of my affection

But...the silence has taught me that

Love is about disclosing the secrets

Of Eternity as I am changing to give

What I could not give on my own.

Love is not self-seeking but

Rejoicing in another's healing, another's

Blessings and their ability to feel loved.

In silence I've changed. In silence

I've touched the Hand of love--the

Hand that has changed me, healed me,

And raised me.

In silence...I love. Coming out from silence, from that

Quiet time where I meditate and ponder

My reason for living...for being, for the very

Breath I've been given when I once was

Caught in a downward spiral that

Nearly took my life,

I give you my love.
