Stillness

 

Early morning as daylight heralds a new day

I sit alone in my pre ordained space

to be still in thought and prayer

as I contemplate and commune

with the essence of my being

where the Divine Spirit has made his home

 

In the background I play softly and

listen to Gregorian Chant or the

strains of Peer Gynt in the beauty 

of the morning song

Peace becomes my spiritual companion

the world is stilled as heart and mind

fuse into a realm of tranquility

This time is is where the Spiritual

assumes its uninterrupted place in

the depths of my soul

A place where poetry is often composed

where the dead are recalled

oft with tears of 

gentle remembrance

where those in adversity are prayed for

 

From these precious moments I

return to the day

refreshed in every way
