In silence

A voice calls

Straining my ears I seek
the direction, the person
Straining my mind I seek
the origin, the meaning

Unpuzzled strangely,
I can identify none of these but still…

The voice calls
from within and from without
the voice calls

In hope but without expectation
I answer with questions

“Who calls? Where are you?
What do you require of me?”

In the silence the wind speaks
in the silence the river laughs
in the silence the stone sings

A voice calls

In the stone the God sings
in the river the Goddess laughs
in the wind Creation speaks

A voice calls in the silence
Aloud I say “I am here, teach me!”
