God Speaks

In the thundering silence,
in the dark of night
God speaks
In the prayers of the faithful
the words of the saints unspoken
God speaks
In the colors of creation
the many senses, vivid or subdued
God speaks
In the touch in times of comfort
the hope in times of need
God speaks
From deep within us
in the disquiet of our place
in the moments of reflection
when we need him his warm embrace
God speaks

Listen – haiku

listen to that voice
that still small voice calling you
out of the stillness

1 Kings 19

A Prayer for Wisdom

Wisdom, discernment
precious gifts, a heritage, a grounding
a life worth living
when these are the callings of the heart
a prayer of the king
in the quiet of a dream.
How amply rewarded
are the selfless pleadings
of the faithful
