Here - Daniel Paul Gilbert

 

We long for the thin places

where heaven grazes earth,

we search for those moments

when your spirit is most tangible,

and because we have felt you

in the words etched upon a page

or we have heard you

in the movement of a symphony,

or we have seen you

in the brushstrokes on a canvas;

Because we have found you there

we have cluttered our lives with these noises,

drowning in the clamour of our expectation,

looking for the next hit to satiate out hearts.

We are lost in a one way conversation

with you, waiting for an opening to speak.

 

But you are already near to us

like treasure right beneath our feet.

You are already inside of us,

the life in every breath we take.

You are already with us,

the whisper among the chaos,

the quiet among the storm.

Here in the stillness.

Here in the calm.

Here.
