In closing of eyes
In prayer of this day
An offer was blessed
As I heard the Lord say
Come be with me
Let’s go for a ride
Into our being
Where Spirit resides
Let go of baggage
Come as you are
No body of moving
But soul will go far
Into our dwelling
The soul gets a lift
Surrounding in loving
In light set adrift
In path of the way
Conversation to be
Open this window
For friend here to see
As the night passed
Baton onto the sun
The stillness of morning
Pronounced the day begun
The peepers sang
Their last song
The mist on water
Moved along
As silence spreads
Its sweet tune
Peace invites
Us to commune
Pure of light
Touches all
Into Your way
Let us all fall
Morning of sunshine
One of the flow
So gentle the ripple
Stillness to know
Soul be attentive
Word be of prayer
A knowing beyond
That you wish to share
Peace of instilling
From world to above
Tranquility here
Eternal is love
One of our Savior
Through spirit let seep
The flow of his passion
Dwell in the soul deep
A practice of importance
Dependent all on grace
Inner room of focus
To create our sacred space
Through passageway of silence
Intention of the willing
In emptiness of being
A time of sacred stilling
Simplicity of moment
Allow faith to fulfill
A prayer unto our Lord
To come let Spirit fill
Dwelling in beyond
Soul’s value is shown
Gift of lights abundance
Makes Your Presence known
In journey of the way
A practice to begin
Of opening the door
Inviting all souls in
Poem is watered down
Out of tune is song
Missing is the flow
Every word seems wrong
Lost is the direction
Goals just don’t seem met
Wheels forever spinning
Priorities not set
Let me return to You
Prayer of focus be
All within Your guiding
Rebirth the soul to see
Re-lay the foundation
Love the driving goal
You as source of living
Centered in the soul
Coming to the window
‘Tween heaven and earth
Vision unseen known
Through our second birth
One of the beyond
Of the Holy Grail
Through the love of Son
Spirits breath inhale
Light of overflowing
Love comes pouring through
Showered in the knowing
Of joy arising, new
Seeing with souls vision
Saints and angels sing
The way of heavens path
Be our everything
I grew up with stories
That my elders shared
Of our family’s souls
Passed down through the years
From the old country
And the starving they fed
To working all day
The making of bread
To serving our country
With wounds they received
Foundation of faith
In Christ they believed
Put other soul’s first
Do your work with pride
Share a humble joy
For Christ’s by our side
Committed to purpose
Through toils and strife
Of their sacrifice
For our better life
I come to You Lord
With soul of the lifting
Surrendering here
To prayer of the drifting
Carry me now
Your way to show
Deep of beyond
Help me to let go
Light as the breeze
May Spirits breath guide
A flowing into
Your being reside
Within light of beyond
Let Spirit now pray
Acceptance unknown
As faith leads the way
Intimate binding
Reprogram the heart
Instilling of blessings
Of gifts to impart
In silence of prayer
A Word of insight
God of us asks
Will you go, be my light?
In world overwhelming
In darkness of night
With candle of hope
Will you go, be my light?
Souls feeling worthless
The world does indict
With heart of compassion
Will you go, be my light?
When truth is diluted
And wrong becomes right
With clarities vision
Will you go, be my light?
When flames turn to embers
May the Spirit ignite
With voice of your joy
I will go, be Your light!
At six o one
The day begun
A whisper calls
My blessed one
I sent to you
The rising sun
To draw all souls
To light of one
In solitude
Of prayer begun
In binding share
Our purpose one
To live the Word
Of Christ be spun
Heaven and earth
Today as one
