Here I Return

Just to be with You
Just to breathe with You
Thou Who Art Being
Thou Who Art Breath

You Are the Word
Speaking in the Silence
and the Great Movement
found most profoundly
Present in the stillness of the soul.

This moment,
this breath,
is Holy Ground;
Where I curl gently inward
as a small seed to be planted,
or a womb-warmed babe,
so graciously granted
a place deep within
Your Divine Tenderness.

Here I return
day after day,
soft in the Love
that whisks me away
from all words,
into the praise
of Sacred Gaze,
and the prayer
of my beating heart.

How I crave
these moments apart;
away from the noise
and glare of distraction;
alone in intimate inaction…

Just to be with You
Just to breathe with You
Thou Who Art Being
Thou Who Art Breath.
