SILENCE OF THE NIGHT In the silence of the night, in the long dark hours before dawn, While the world sleeps and dreams, I alone am awake for I cannot sleep— The calling which comes on my soul, From the divine to rise in prayer— The constant calling from deep within, Is the calling I must answer In the silence of the night. My heart always knows the way Beyond all words and concepts, As I follow waves of love in prayerful devotion In the silence of the night. Relying upon anyone outside Myself is like laying a funeral pyre Which will erupt in grief and pain In the silence of the night. When all along, all I really want Is to answer my own soul’s calling, Calling me up into eternal divine delight In the silence of the night. October 22, 2017

Inner Flight How sweet it is to awaken In a world washed clean and bright By rain falling furiously in the night, And to be greeted by the Cheerful welcome of your loving smile. How sweet it is to wake up Into deep inner happiness; Into a day in which eager delight Flows through every arriving moment As my spirit soars up in inner flight— On wings of radiant joy and the Faith this day will be one of blessings On this journey of love and light.

As I Work I adjust myself To an easy flow Of concentrated energy— By staying absolutely Present, I let go of Hurrying and pushing and exerting And simply flow down the River, accomplishing All which must Be done, While just Drifting On the Currents of Pure Love, Energy And Bliss. August 23, 2017
