Alone in the dark
I greet the morning
hidden from the world,
praying to the silence
to move my will
with the shapeless intent
of the eternal.
Alone in the dark
I greet the morning
hidden from the world,
praying to the silence
to move my will
with the shapeless intent
of the eternal.
Yes. Lovely.
all alone I keep the dark company, hidden geometry — silence moving prayer into will — as morning greets a world eternal ___thank you Don!
wonderful Don, captures the mystery well.
In the quiet of my darkened space, I pray…………..so beautiful Don! My will is one with the Creator!
Praying to the silence to move my will…yes!
Thank you, Don.
oops I didn’t finish that: all alone keeping the dark company, hidden geometry — silence moving prayer into will — as morning greets a world eternal, I am
That’s how I feel mornings.
Shapeless, as we embrace the darkness, taking shape as the Light emerges….
I pray my will be moved with, not against, that shapeless intent.
Beautiful Don. Praying to silence…..praying to source…to move my will…
As always, great work. Still pondering the “shapeless intent of the eternal” moving my will.
Don- Wandering Taoist that I am, your phrase “the shapeless intent of the internal” echoes the Taoist concept of Tzu-jan–the ten thousand things unfolding spontaneously from the generative source (Tao, Great Mystery, Dark Enigma) each according to its own nature. So we go meet the wild and feel the infinite unfolding in the world and in us.
Thanks for the lovely poem.
