Giving a listen
Beyond explanation is the meaning of His silence
but a poet might whimsically describe it
as giving a listen to the whole of existence.
To know His silence is to remove ourselves from contention,
to find our own silence within His,
deep enough to lose ourselves, soundless
and senseless, all the commotion
out there, out there, not in here
where there is only effortless peace.
His silence, to give it another description,
is pure observation where we become in time
and by grace, all of that which is observed.
O child of God, to speak of His silence
is a poor substitute for immersion.
