Presence 4: Arts That Inspire Reflection & Prayerಮಾದರಿ

Unspoken Truth

Surprised in the moment,

Mesmerised by a night sky

Resplendent in wordless wonder,

This expansive extravagance

Holds me transfixed;

The eloquence of starlight: 

Unspoken truth whispers to my soul.

Invited to the shared meal,

I know such welcome and warmth

In this place of plenty;

I know and am known,

Secure in the certainty

Of my seat at such a table:

Unspoken truth restores my soul.

Joyfully I receive the gift of love,

Offered in a moment of risk;

This adventure of the heart,

Arms opened in vulnerable invitation 

I find myself tightly held,

Made complete by this embrace:

Unspoken truth strengthens my soul.
