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.
