Listen to God

befriend the silence
listen to God
the Spirit musings
in the dark
listen to God
for God’s message
the voice in the darkness
within our hearts
befriend the silence
not only speaking
prayer listening
for the voice of the Shepherd
to live more fully
in God’s kingdom
to share the message
the Good News for us.

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.”
