An Inner Voice

 

We often need to listen to our inner voice 

that still small voice of calm

Which speaks words of wisdom

words which do not emanate from ourselves

But directly to heart and mind

 

The voices and noises of endless distraction

often drown this source of inner wisdom

The world outside will encroach upon us

to supress those words we need to hear

 

Daily concerns will cloud our thoughts

but listen we must to centre ourselves

This voice speaks to the inner temple of our being

it must be listened to with great care

 

Sit quietly and clear the mind

make an invitation for the voice to enter your heart

Banish all other considerations and say

Speak Lord, for your servant is listening
