Silence is a gift, it is a place
a place to just be.
It is a choose place to be in your presence Lord,
to focus on the inner voice,
the inner voice that calls us to listen.

Silence is a place that bring stillness to the voice,
it brings stillness to the soul that waits.
It is the soul that waits to hear the voice,
the inner voice that guides and comforts us.

Silence is a place to be present to others,
and goes past just pleasantries.
It is one soul speaking to another,
in a community that hears a same voice.

Silence is a place of surrendering,
it is the surrendering of self in search.
It is in a search through the soul to find the voice,
the voice that echo in our soul and calls to us to be.

Silence is a place in community,
a community that surrenders to the inner voice.
It is the inner voice that calls us to be a community,
a community that hears and responds to the calling.

Silence is a place, a resting-place,
a place to rest in the Lord and be present to him.
It is a place to be open and to receive him into us,
to receive his love and grace.

Silence is a place to be still and know God.
to be still and be touched by him.
It is to be still and stand in awe by his presence
the presence that allows us to know forgiveness and receive life.

Silence is the place where our soul calls,
where the soul calls and cries out to be heard.
It is in silence that our inner voice calls
calling to the God that hears our cries and responds.

Silence is the place where God responds,
responds to us by answering to our cries.
He responds to our cries because we know him,
in knowing him we dare to call him Abba, father.

Silence is a place where our Abba is present,
and in his presence we accept him and receive his love.
In receiving him our soul cries out in trust and in joy,
a joy filled with knowledge that we will have eternal life with him.

What you imagine swimming away
with your bait
is the poem,
and all you have to go on
is the feel of the pull.
