Voice of Silence

I Kings 19:12
"...and after the fire, a sound of sheer silence." RSV


Voice of Silence
Falling through thick clouds
Mists of mind, fog of feelings
Breaking with shattering impact
Spirit upon the surface
Of sheer silence
Sinking slowly
Into the deep
Listening to the quiet
The silence is laden with meaning
Presence permeating pores
Peace penetrating soul
Enveloping
Undone
Overcome
Made whole


B "In Blue"

"When for a long time the soul has had no hearing, and at length an answer comes again from God, then there flows into this hidden tryst a still more intimately tender blessedness, and the soul bathes itself in the fullness of the love of God." 
Abraham Kuyper, To Be Near Unto God

Answers
I believe your words, spoken in truth
But I've never swallowed the lies
Don't ask me how I know the difference
Since for the longest time
You've averted your eyes.

They've been on the floor
Or staring at the door
Looking for a way out
Or a place to hide
Where no one could see inside.

Last night there was a change in my dream,
The one that always comes back again.
When I asked, "Why didn't you wait?"
You looked at my face and said,
"I AM."

Psalm 27:13-14
"I am confident that I will see the Lord's goodness while I am here in the land of the living.  Wait patiently for the Lord, be brave and courageous.  Yes, wait patiently for the Lord." NLT
