Walk Softly Live Gently

If you wander don’t worry you’re not lost

Comfort?

to comfort thee

words cannot speak

what lies beneath soul

 

depth of pain

beyond comprehension

yields to silence

 

Presence

quietly walks pathways

to broken hearts

 

When words are inadequate why

do we fill the space with more

words?

Because we cannot bear the silence.

And yet, that is the place

of deep healing….

beyond the cliche, banal and the trite.

I would rather hold your hand

in silence, with compassion.

    Oh!  I really love the line "presence quietly walks pathways to broken hearts" — this got me right in my heart.  This has been so true for me when I have been griefstricken and heartbroken.  That presence has been filled with grace and sacred space.

    Thanks, Pearl. If you see this you'll know that I did re-write the whole thing after all.
     
    Clare. Thank you. I struggled with those lines. Glad they could be a blessing to someone.
