Hello fellow seekers, poets, and troubled souls,
I have decided to consolidate my writing to a new site where I will henceforth share my work.
If you are so inclined, please find my work at Grappling With Divinity.
Thank you and may the peace of the Lord be with you.
Regards,
Robert Van Valkenburgh
The angels of the Lord
have guided me thus far
leading me through
the deserts of despair
carrying me over
insurmountable obstacles
whispering
be not afraid
The Lord your God
has sent me
to help you do
that which you cannot
of your own power
your own wisdom
and your own will
you are not alone
I am here with you
At the altar of silence
my cup is emptied
before you
rivers of living water
overflowing
the banks of my soul
until I am no more
only you remain
ALTAR OF SILENCE

Keep me close
to you Lord
in this time of tribulation
and consternation
while the wicked and vengeful
lash out at one another
filling the world
with fear and hatred
fill me with your peace
dear God
help me to be a vessel
of the love
that settles stormy seas
and heals the sick
KEEP ME CLOSE

I abandon myself
to the abyss
of unknowing
I submit my spirit
in faith
to silence
to the place that is nowhere
and everywhere
where I find nothing
and everything
I cannot seek God
but in stillness
God seeks me
GOD SEEKS ME
