Lately I have found myself empty,
like a large hall,
nothing within, only the dust
motes drifting gently in the slanting
rays of the sun.
Quiet beyond quiet,
an endless rhapsody of the sighing
winds.
No busy-ness intrudes here,
no agendas,
things to do,not even the faint incandescent
hum of lights.
The sun suffices till dark
gathers me in, and I
set there in such a place,
and remember Who it was
that placed life within me.
I become the darkness,
boundaries blur and wink out..
and I have no
fear of this nothingness,
it is the place where dwells
The Infinite Beloved,
and I must go without anything
to enter God's Beingness.
My feet still walk the pavements,
I eat and sleep, sing and pray,
laugh and cry,
live my life, but if you were to
knock,there would be no one home.
There is no fear,
at last.
