God Speaks To Each Of Us

God speaks to each of us as he makes us, then walks with us silently out of the night we wake. These are the words we quietly hear: You, sent out as slumber does break, go to the limits of your longing. Wear me as a garment, lit by the fire behind your shadow's encompassing cover sublime. Let everything happen to you, beauty and terror. Just keep going. No feeling is final. Don't let yourself lose me. Near is the land called life imparted. You will understand His gentle demand. Come, beloved. Give me your hand.
