In the Quiet: A Poem

In the quiet

Through the flutterings

Through the sway of the trees

The wind is soft

And your Spirit speaks

 

In the quiet

From the wide road

From the trail of pain

The fence is narrow

And your Spirit speaks

 

In the quiet

Beyond the doubt

Beyond the dark

The sun is bright

And your Spirit speaks

 

In the quiet

Out of captivity

Out of suffocation

The freedom is tasted

And your Spirit speaks

 

In the quiet

By your hand

By the sacrifice

The noise is deaf

And your Spirit speaks

 

In the quiet

To the glory of your presence

To the Holy Throne

The light is shining

Because your Spirit speaks
