I Come Here for the Silence

I come for the silence heard in the ground of my being
which brings awareness of the gift of life.

As this gift unfolds,
the sun rises over a cloudless horizon,
a fish quietly rises to the water’s surface
and a quiet prayer is heard in my soul.

This Book of Nature has opened its pages of this new day,
may we silently read each word.

I come here for the silence.
