Slumberer

What better thing than the quiet time
There is no need for anything but being
No prayers need to entreaty God

No proclamations need to be made
Arguments have no meaning anymore

There is no music to ring in the ears
No night calling birds to warn the dark
Even the dogs and cats are silent now
What reverie to hear my own heart
Then tune it out and find the silence

Let me gaze at the hushed sparkle of stars
The incredible vastness of that wordlessness
I want to rest rocked to sleep in moonbeams
Where all the colors in their blueness shine
This is where I find who I have become

There is in that deep, swaying slumber
The knowing of the universe within
I discover sleepers all around me now
In their own travails they have found rest
Yet now the journey is just beginning

for this one ( too! : ) )))
God's secret name was for a long time considered this mysterious statement: "I Am that I Am". Turned out that that statement was incorrect/incomplete and the FULL statement is indeed: "I Am that I am IN BECOMING!!!" I capitalize 'in becoming' for that IS the vital part that makes the statemnet make sense! This; your poem, expresses in such poetic way: "Let me gaze at the hushed sparkle of stars
The incredible vastness of that wordlessness
I want to rest rocked to sleep in moonbeams
Where all the colors in their blueness shine
This is where I find who I have become

There is in that deep, swaying slumber
The knowing of the universe within
I discover sleepers all around me now
In their own travails they have found rest
Yet now the journey is just beginning"

How absolutely beautiful - and so true!
