Peace within

Nothing in all creation
Is so like “God” as silence
Quiet time requires discipline
Cultivating a peaceful heart
Setting aside the notion
That we make things happen
Or make them come out right
Return to the sacred self
Which lies buried or hidden
Under all our self hyper-activities
The paradox is that we must
Stop, feel and grow
In order to receive
The gift of ourselves
Even when we think things are up to us
And we still hang on to the belief
That we are in control
So as I sit in the unknown
In silence
I honor and invite
The peace within
The unwanted–uncivilized–the wild,
The visioner–shy–and the wonder
That rarely has a chance
To speak
Within us
