Silence is a doorway
into the heart of reality;
to cultivate a silent heart
is to discover your deepest truth.
~ from LUMEN CHRISTI…HOLY WISDOM by Nan Merrill
I want the light
locked inside to awaken:
crystalline flower,
wake as I do:
eyelids raise the curtain
of endless earthen time
until deeply buried eyes
flash clear enough again
to see their own clarity.
