A song while still
The sunrise sleeps
That sparks the birth this day
A filling be
Of emptiness
That usher’s night way
A flowing song
That stills the soul
A symphony surrounding
The sweetness
Of the birdsong
Their praises here abounding
A song within
Of binding be
In Spirit here of knowing
In gratitude
Of love You share
Ahead Your gifts bestowing
A song of joy
Of light to shine
Instilling peace to share
Rejoicing in
The love of You
In binding everywhere
In our world of noise
Of worries and fear
Constant distractions
Come listen right here
Settling the soul
Of a silent prayer
For a still small voice
Sometimes hard to hear
It can be very quiet
Our Lord is speaking clear
Voice of love within you
You may have heard it there
Listen to Him saying
I love you, He proclaims
Come and follow me
Calling you by name
(based upon words by Henri Nouwen)
View captures view
Still water still
Sky empty sky
Fill silence fill
Light shining light
Go letting go
In dwelling in
Know Presence know
Love receive love
Be aware be
Flow Spirit flow
Thee within thee
Share wisdom share
Cease judgment cease
Love sharing love
Peace flowing peace
Sweet is the silence
A beautiful psalm
So still be the water
Of surface so calm
A simple reflection
One of the deep
Into the soul
Let this moment seep
A moving into
Contemplative prayer
A drawing of being
Of your presence here
In language of soul
Of simply to be
One within all
Through the love of thee
Won’t you rest with me
In sunrise of beauty
She starts rushing around
Just can’t sit and be
Jesus foresaw it
With love his story
Of too much Martha
Not enough of Mary
Life out of balance
No time of Divine
Feeding of soul
Of nourishment fine
An offer, beloved
Desire to fulfill
Oh Spirit descend
To pray her soul still
Still raw is your passing
You’re in a better place
Your hope in gift of faith
Is answered by His grace
Still here is our sorrow
In random burst of tears
Drifting in our loss
Your emptiness felt here
Still in life’s reflection
The love to us you shared
We see your shadow cast
In many ways, you cared
Still we walk our path
With joy and sorrow, feeling
In prayer, we’ll be with You
A new way you’ll be healing
Still we’ll remember you
Etched within our heart
For now, your closer still
Through love that you’ll impart
Gaze upon the water still
Let Spirit flow and peace instill
Empty me with space to fill
Through gift of faith let prayer fulfill
In gentle waves releasing will
Focus now of Your goodwill
Saturate the soul until
The love of You to others spill
