The Sound of God's Approach

The sound of God’s approach is near…

So near in fact the world decides
that she will tremble—
the walls will crumble.
The thought a person hears will
stand still—because
of the nearness of the One
who speaks life to the Universe
and sets time in motion.
Without His approach
all would fail.
All would fall into a deep
and terrible darkness.
Instead, the quiet footsteps
of the One my heart loves,
the Light of One who shines on
my being;
sparkles my soul—
and my thoughts
stand perfectly
still.
