When I am still
In quietness and prayer
I think of you
As I turn my soul
To eternity
At that moment
I am calm
And fear recedes
Like the ebbing tide
Clarity shines like the moon
On winter’s night
Insight comes
As suddenly as sunrise
In early spring
And courage meets me
With a still small voice
Deeper than reason
That tells me the path
To follow
Upward, onward
To more fullness
Of being
How can this be?
I thought the answer
Would be some eternal truth
But it is this:
Love
Deep, pure and constant
And I know
At that moment
I am truly alive
And that I love you
