In silence was the universe conceived,
In silence doth the heart of man seek out
That other heart to rest on: Nature’s soul
Yearns ceaslessly to give it’s speechless calm
Unto her restless children as they roam
Far from the central place which is their home.
*************
Wouldst know thy Mother Nature face to face?
Wouldst hear her silent heart-beats? close thine ears
And still thy senses; Wouldst thou feel her arms
Enfold thy being? thou must give thyself
In uttermost abandon to her will
That she may teach thee the one truth-be still.
**************
Be still- and from the silence shall arise
A mem’ry of forgotten mysteries,
A healing peace descending on thy soul
Shall bear it up to regions beyond worlds
Where thou shalt learn the secrets of the earth,
Of wind and flame and how the stars have birth.
**************
Then shalt thou know thy heritage of joy;
Borne on the pinions of the Birth of Life,
Tuned to the rhythm of revolving spheres,
Feeling with all that breathes, with all that strives,
For union with its prototype above,
The silent comforter whose name is-Love.
***************
Love Makes The World Go Round
