There is a time for silence
for going within
exploring the depths of the self and soul
without the chatter from outside
and quietening the chatter within
often only silent
after it has been given the chance to scream aloud
or talk itself out
for if you forcibly silence it
gaggle it
it will scream louder when it has the chance
in silence we can hear the voices
and let them pass through
within
a container to listen and hear
but a container
if held too long under pressure
can also explode
and just as there is a time for silence
there is a time for breaking the silence
to release what is within
in soft lava flow
enriching the soil below
without destroying it
fertility for new seeds and crops
which may be sown in silence
or not
the interplay of the two
of within and without
flowing.

meditation for light within

a meditation when my mind does wander
and petty thoughts come bubbling up
i look into the light
the light of consciousness
the holy spirit
to enter inside
so that i may hear the word of god
without my own chatter entering in
that part of me that insists that i know
to clear my eyes so i can see
clearly
that kernal of light in all
to see the glory of creation
to not turn away from that i do not wish to face
to not be blinded by the big me inside
to take away the haze
the blindfolds
the rose coloured glasses
and to see the energy in all
the glow
and to clear my mind
so that i may percieve
to gather insights
into the world
not jumping forward with conclusions
or preconsceptions
insisting that i know
the world defined large
in all that be
to clear the lump in my throat
so i may sing
of joy
and speak the truth
but gently
to disolve the blocks
where energy does not flow
the places where i still hold on
to past energy
that make me heavy and clouded
and most of all
to light my heart
so i can feel gods love
and so i can spread love
and light to all.
for the moments that i am quiet inside
all becomes clear
light does shine.
