Into Silence

Attention is the beginning of devotion.

Mary Oliver

Startled by the beating of my own heart,
                     the pounding
of my thoughts in between my ears, 
                     I have found
noise to be quieter than silence, have brokered
terms of peace armed
with a flashing screen.
Nothing frightens like
the thought that you may not be enough; 
You are enough, are All.
                         In deep
silence I meet
the noise of fear, and greet
Your warmest, primeval whisper.
