Monstrance

I
An absence
Framing a presence
holding a silence:
the realest place on earth.

II
My heart
though scarcely real
holds your reality
a light, a silence,
a deep place of meeting,
knitting beyond mind’s reach
a throne for the night of time
the blazing Uncreated.

III
Your showing
means meeting: heart speaks to heart
love flows to love
greeting each throned presence
each prism of the All-Loving.
I bow before you
revealed in ten thousand hearts
daily benediction.

Psalm 62 paraphrase

My soul waits in silence on God,
The source of my salvation.
God alone is my rock, I shall never be shaken.
In stillness my soul waits for him and in trust,
Truly my hope is in him.
In God I am safe and honoured,
He is my strong rock and my refuge.
In silence my soul waits for his coming,
A waiting that draws down grace like the dew of the morning.
Put your trust in him, my people,
Do not fear to pour out your heart to him.
God is our refuge and he says,
Once and again he says that the power is his alone.
