  A poem for reflection.

In the shelter of the Prayer Room

In the shelter of the Prayer Room
where my heart has learned to speak
I give voice to picture language
to the truths I’ve buried deep.

Buried deep and seldom spoken
are the words I do not say
having seen their startled faces
turn inward and look away.

In the shelter of the Prayer Room
there is joy in my relief
not alone with my perception
finding comfort in belief.

I can take this inner knowing
to the surface and explore
in the light of Jesus’ teaching
there awaits an opened door.

In the shelter of the Prayer Room
wisdom wrapped in quiet care
softly knowing, gently leading
sits the one with whom I share
