This is a great poem
In the dark, with no one around
Jesus whispers without making a sound
Patiently waiting in the silent air
My heart reaches out with a simple prayer
As I sit here at your side face to face
Make me like you by your loving grace
I know with confidence that your in the room
For you're watering my heart with love to make it bloom
Sitting, wondering, hoping, and praying
That my path be straight with little straying
Lord speak to me with your words
Tell me how to be one of your holy shepherds
"Be still and listen, my child, with attentive care
I formed you, I know you, and I hear your prayer
Come close to me; lay your head on my heart
The place where all the saints find their start
For from here is where my whispers shout
From a heart on the cross not clamor from the mouth."
"So wait in the dark, with no one around
I'll whisper to you with out making a sound
In the silence you should patiently wait
And I will bring you to the heavenly gate
Sit here with me, face to face
And I will make you like me, by my loving grace."
- Jacob (a seminarian in Italy)
