In silence
I rest my weary head
and my aching bones
upon the merciful bosom of God
I am comforted
by the quiet
that once tortured me
I find peace
in the darkness
I once feared
in God’s embrace
I have found the peace of heaven
and a glimpse of eternity
from this silence I was born
and to it I willingly return
IN SILENCE
