Mine is a wordless realm
Some believe my home is silent
But it is far from that
My kingdom is awash in sound
Hear my call in the raven’s caw
Listen for my heart in the wailing of a widow
Oh, my breathing is the summer breeze
And my laughter the crashing waves
Some seek my voice in phrases
In the mesmerizing speech of orators
Yet you will not hear me in lofty talk
Listen for me beyond language
Harken to my quiet steps outside the walls of thought
I am not shy around your ears
Your ideas muffle my sounds
Listen not to words and hear my melodies
Set down your books and beliefs
Step outside the relentless loop
The haughty voice of reason
Stand and walk the living world
Where I surround you with bird songs
And perfumed flowers
And golden orange sunsets
Realizing at last love is the reason for it all
I do not say “I love you”
I bring you flowers
I do not say “I care”
I bring you a friend
I do not promise undying love
I embrace you with eternal beauty
Nor do I promise ‘till death do us part
For where I am, death is but a word
And all words are dead
God is not anti reason. We were created in his image, with the ability to reason. He is beyond reason.
A quote comes to mind:
“We did not know that everything that exists as one body in God’s love. If you enter into a mystical state, you will recognize that the principle of the universe is contained within a single grain of sand. You will see even within a single atom the endless and inexhaustible harmonies of the universe. Although we may not understand it well, we can never deny that all existence results from a complex of forces. Within molecules there are atoms, and within atmosphere are elementary particles. Yet even these entities are not without consciousness. Each exists with a specific consciousness and purpose. We thus can state that all existing beings have come about through God’s loving hand and are surely tied to God’s heart.”
