The Unspoken Yes
What we can not see
makes our blood to flow,
our lungs to fill
and our bodies to breathe.
What we can not hear
lives in silence everywhere,
comforts us always
and saves our lives daily.
What we can not touch
is beyond all knowing,
but arises in our awareness
and seeks us before we ask.
With the eyes of a lover,
open, intense, insistent,
this Holy Mystery invites us
to meet in our yearning.
In such gifted times,
when darkness glows
and silence hums
the Unspoken Yes,
we begin to live again,
as at birth and death,
while the universe
watches itself expand.
