SOARING HIGH IN THE STILL OF THE NIGHT Finally, the work of the day Is done and the long hours of A night of utter freedom Stretch out in front of me. While the rest of the world sleeps, I take up my inner journey Of climbing prayer mountain to That faraway peak ever beckoning me. With this aging dense body of clay And blood, the only way I can ever Fly is by spreading my secret Spiritual wings in prayerful meditation. As I start singing songs in full expression Of my soul’s longing for the Beloved, The troublesome mundane mind begins To fall away into the still of the night. I will not miss this or any other opportunities For soaring ever higher in freedom And inner flight that now stretch out all Around me in the still of the night. I will not waste these precious hours When I can sing with my full voice And yearning heart until grateful tears flow And my own inner Beloved comes to me. Tonight I do not want anything the world Has to offer me in desire’s alluring mirage— I want only to be free to soar ever higher in This sweet sanctuary in the still of the night.
