The silent world

I live in a world of noise

a world where silence is feared

where a quiet moment is hard to find

In this world of noise

I can't hear God
there are too many
voices calling for
my attention

And so he waits...

He waits for me to listen

to step away from the noise

to listen for his voice

Elijah heard God

but only after all the noise had passed

Only after the storms stilled

And when he heard him he feared

To hear from God

means I have to deal with me

I am suddenly made aware

of the me that needs him

and in that need...

...I realize...

...that he is all I need

And so I pursue the silent world

where I can hear God

It's in that place

he and I work on 

me

It's in that silent world

that I experience

a loving father

meeting with

his silly son
