IN THE STILL OF THE NIGHT
Here on my meditation seat
In the sweet hours before dawn,
I am working to raise my consciousness
Through opening my heart and
Bringing wild horse mind to stillness
Through one pointed mantra and song.
As I give voice to my yearning
To attain the presence of
My own indwelling Beloved,
My spirit wings unfurl
And spread wide to catch
The sacred currents
Rising from deep within.
Here in my solitary retreat,
In the still of the night
While the world yet sleeps
And wanders in restless dreams
I am finding my way
Ever upwards, steadily and
Sure as I pray through
Night and day, day and night.
This inner journey is in answer
To my spirit’s longing to rise
And my sweet Lord’s calling me
To love, serve and awaken—
On this ancient path which
Leads me out of all darkness
All the way to my divine home
Where I live in the freedom of
Knowing who and what I really
Am and have always been—
An eternal spirit in human form
Living life on earth for a little while.
