Any question asked of God
is an implicit demand for an answer.
After a lifetime (to my dismay)
of such implications, I am beginning now
to hear (by His grace) the one answer
which has always been there – His silence;
(wherein only real things are exchanged
and wherein God alone is real).
I took a silent, invisible God
to be distant, unapproachable
while He’s been faithfully
answering me all along
in a Voice – because it is so unlike mine –
I’ve had not the ears to hear.
Now I might grasp a bit more His admonition –
Love doesn’t ask. Because
Oneness hasn’t a tongue.
O child of God, Love is silent, benevolent,
His One and only perfect response.
