IN PRAISE OF SILENCE

Abstract

There I sat gazing at the setting sun, Feeling His pulse in the trees around. 

The silence of nature spoke to my deepest self Of her Maker and His only Word: And the silent rhythm of nature sang Of His simple rhythm flowing within me. 

In the stillness of my heart I heard: "Man needs silence to turn to his true self, To hear the silence of God everywhere, And to stand before His Silent love."
