Complete silence, quiet in the sanctuary
lights dimmed and heart rates slowed
heads bowed in silent, singular, personal prayer
hushed words on repentance, of fears, of hopes
shared directly with God
living in the community of faith
safe to be vulnerable, to be open
to the call of God in that stillness,
to answer the calling of the creator,
of the savior in the quiet, the solemnity
the sanctuary alive with the spirit
moving within us, speaking to us now
