Quaker Meeting
A place of human connection
A place for resurrection
Where heart and souls meet
A place for coming home
A place of silence
Precious quiet and sacred
Respect at the core
For the individual and the group
A place where you fall in step
Though you are not moving
Where you feel understood
Though you are not speaking
A place where silence is profound
Like the spoken word of ministry
Where questions are encouraged
And Answers rarely given
A place where the mystical is almost tangible
Where the spirit feels near
Where the silence is awesome
The divine maybe here
A place of peace
But not about sweetness
A firmness and a serious
discipline at core
It demands truth and integrity
A fiery Adherence to value
Of all life and the planet
With reverence to justice and true fairness
A place where refugees are welcome
Where the spiritual search is a given
Where the written word is there for the taking
Should we get lost in imagination
Quaker meeting
A rare oasis of calm
Where enlightenment is possible
Where transformation is within grasp.
