befriend the Silence
the living Presence
the Spirit of God
the words of Christ
within the stillness
the darkness, the mystery,
God speaking still
to our hearts
befriend the Silence
like Lady Wisdom
words welling up
printed on our minds
but more than this
words given, gifted
given to be shared
to be scattered to the wind

when I shared with Larry some of the poems the retreat inspired,
he said, in part, “May you continue to befriend the Silence and listen to God.”
