A poem
Beautiful. This is why I write poetry - to be still, quiet, filled, and present to God. Somehow the meditative prayer of poetry helps to sit in this place.
So good, Chris.
“So I sit in my room
and listen to the flicker
of the candle”
I know that sound. That line took me right to all the moments when I’ve felt that deep quiet, & this whole poem made me want to seek out more.
“stillness … like a flame” yes.
