Holding Only You

You are no farther than
a thought away-
 yet I fill this distance
with a thousand words.

So I let go.


Allowing words to drop unspoken.


 Distance narrows.


And I fall to a silence
holding only
you.

Herman Melville wrote that "God's one and only voice is silence" and the wisdom of his prose has been played as a universal theme since the dawn of time. And yet in no other time perhaps has our inner world been so full of chatter and distraction. The voice of God seems more distance today then ever. My love for the forest and the trails and the utter exhaustion of a very long run stems in the falling away of my own ego driven conversations of self with myself to a single, one sided conversation of Self - God speaking through the expression of breath and motion, the internal mantra of Soham...the silent whisper...I am That and again the holy silence of our reply.

 

Peace,
