A Thousand Mornings

In my soul there is a room that opens doors into my eyes, body and senses. Often I sense a hushing of a wind. I also hear a quiet whisper of a beautiful voice.
Yet this is not all.

If I sit in a restful quietness these voices, hushings and whisperings turn into complete silence. Beautiful they are.
But now no thing is happening.
Everything waits.
As I sit.
In silence.

My senses, body and eyes grow accustomed to the silence.
Soon I rise and walk.
Out into this life of every thing.

Suddenly something starts rising within.
I almost feel like singing or jumping for joy.
Because everywhere I am looking and sensing I see and hear transferring and transforming from deepest within.
The beautiful singing of a thousand mornings.

  1. Friends:

    Thank you for your meaningful poem, A thousand Mornings.

    Sometimes when we wait, as you say, patience helps to transform our within and
    adds music to our souls.

    Here is something to think about:

    The beauty of the earth; The first beauty, millions of years before us, the earth lived
    in wild elegance. Landscape is now the first born of creation.
