I walk in stillness. Where my rest is set Is Heaven. And the silence of the stars Sings in a soundless circle. For the song Of Heaven is past hearing, and ascends Beyond the tiny range the ear can catch. And soars into a spaceless magnitude Where sound and silence meet in unity, Holy am I, who bring your Name With me and who abide in You, although I seem to walk alone. Look carefully, And you may glimpse the One who stands Beside me. And I lean on You in sure Unswerving confidence. It was not thus Before, for I was bitterly afraid To take the Help of Heaven for my own. Yet Heaven never failed, and only I Stayed comfortless, while all of Heaven's gifts Poured out before me. Now the arms of love Are all I have all my treasure is. Now I have ceased to question. Now I come From chaos to the stillness of my home.
~ "The Soundless Song" from THE GIFTS OF LOVE by Helen Schucman
