Sitting Still – a Haiku poem
I wrote this Haiku poem after an intense session of Contemplative Prayer.
Up since four-thirty
In the Cloud of Unknowing
Sojourn in the Dark
What is it I seek?
Deep interior silence
To love and be loved
Sit still like a rock
Be still and know I am God
Breathe in and breathe out
What’s lifted from me?
Wanting others’ approval
My own agendas
Pray without ceasing
Without words or images
Let God do the work
What is it I seek?
A peaceful and tranquil heart
And to know Jesus
