Meditation.
Or if you prefer contemplation.
These long periods of
welcome, sometimes peaceful
sometimes disturbed
yet always profound silence.
Are in themselves a revelation of the
touch of holiness, of presence.
Quietly the cold descended.
Time loses credibility
A healing occurs, hurts are mended.
Closed eyes open briefly
Returning to graced moments chiefly
Shivering I shift my feet.
Breathing in the atmosphere
of the church,
my sanctuary
adorned gateway to the sacred,
where fear evaporates;
the heart at prayer is quite complete.
Surrounded by devotion.
Bringing to unspoken prayers the value of emotion
Alone yet surrounded by the blessed company.
Ghostly whispers from times past
good men and women the saints
on pilgrimage with me, a journey to accompany.
A divine mystery floats in the air
cloudy with Sunday’s incense
as if memory reveals
an eternal yearning.
A continuing
a fleeting remembering
before quickly to heaven returning.
A safe haven
where love is discovered in
Its truest fulfilment.
A vocation to be
loved, to love, called and sent.
Conversations discerning wellbeing
Rising from earth’s floor to heaven’s ceiling
Words uttered in gratitude
Sensing the immense magnitude
Experiencing the magnificence
Head bowed, to take in the ambience
Praying is not escaping
Not floundering
or the barrel of despairing scraping,
Praise of God the Father, Almighty!
It restores the purpose
extracts the vision
exacts with simple precision
the necessity of that virtue of humility.
