I hold
my peace
in this
quiet prayer.
Amen

Silent Prayer
I hold this
silent prayer
in my heart —
that you may feel
my love
and remember
your own.
Amen.
As a Prayer
On a gentle breeze,
a whisper
in the wind,
a bit of color —
muted,
I return
to this life
as a prayer.
Holding
Listening with my heart,
allowing my thoughts
to be as they are,
I hold what is here
exactly as it is.
I hold it with love
or I hold it
however I can.
A State of Prayer
Letting go of trying
to sort and heal,
letting go of everything
I have been trying
to process,
trusting the pieces
to fall back down
a little at a time,
in a way I can understand,
I enter a state
of prayer.
This Silent Prayer
In connection with
the purest truth
that is my true being,
I hold this silent prayer
in my deepest heart
with purest intent
and gratitude
for all that has
found its way
to me
and all that is becoming.
Amen.
Holding
I settled down
a little more deeply in
to my heart,
holding all I found
outside of me
and within,
no longer wishing
to be some place else,
longing only
to know that very moment
a little more intimately.
To Listen to Silence
I learned to hold
and let go
of all of my experiences —
to hold a little longer
until all that was painful
was transformed
into something beautiful.
And then I remembered
how to listen directly
to silence.
Forgotten
In the center
of my heart,
I found
no concepts
and no words,
only the purest essence
of all of my experiences.
And though there was
the sense
of a returning
from the focused holding
in that place,
I found it was
and had always been
what was most true.
I had only forgotten.
As It Is
I hold
what is here
as it is
in my heart
as it is
in us all —
as it is.
Amen.
