Hold to silence
in the face of great majesty.
Hold to silence
in the Presence of the One.
Only in silence
can truth approach thee;
only patience can take thee there.
Holy, holy is such Knowing;
Only thou the portal be
to bring such Knowing into commerce
is all that is required of thee!
See thou to it, then,
my child, my Love,
bend thine ear to me, my Dove!
Hold to silence
make this thy prayer
Hold to silence
E’en though naught seems there:
The Way be dark and still and cold;
wrap thyself tightly and move on bold!
There will no signposts
rise to meet thee;
Thine own lamp is deep inside thee;
Seek no further than thine heart.
Hold to silence
for it imparts
the Knowing thou needest
and the Being thou art.
