Utterances of Wisdom

 

It can arrive unexpected

unannounced , around the corner

of daily life

Words often spoken softly by another

or a sign open to interpretation

Or in a darkened room in

the depths of slumber

A voice quietly spoken

with no apparent identity

of its own

But distinctive and with words of

brevity and relevance

The soul and senses need to

to be alert and perceptive

Otherwise it passes without 

recognition

O still small voice of calm

come to me, be with me

speak to me

As I long to hear your

sweetness and love

I wait patiently

I yearn to hear you

as you penetrate my

innermost being
