Poem: Feasting on Holy Silence

Poem by Christi Ortiz | FāVS News

I love feasting on Silence

like a hidden nectar in my being 

I can drink here always

Sweet Silence 

how I love your juicy emptiness essence 

Spacious Holy Emptiness

Invisible Life spring ever renewed 

why do I sometimes neglect you

when you always nourish so abundantly? you quench a thirst like nothing else can

Holy Silence 

may I always revere your beauty 

and never underestimate your bounty

how I love to inhabit 

the lush landscape of my being 

all I need

contained inside, 

enshrined in Holy Silence
