When Silence Speaks

The center is alive with an eternal fire

Transcendent voice yet immanent

here in personal resonance;

For I am the beloved distance brought near

In the bosom of being

Through the blessed blood of intimacy.

The purest stone bought flesh and bone

and penetrated the surface of the stilled soul

with ripples born of benevolent deep

Above

breathing from below

A body of water

pregnant with light

for the child to become

all in all
