A gentle soft voice
Proverbs 8:4
4 “To you, O people, I call out,
and My voice calls to all mankind.
Among you now my brethren
I stand alone and watch
Behind me rises One
Who will gently set the tune?
Words of Life, words of death
are mixed into a batch
and as the song fades away
all will appear in ruins.
Resurrection only comes
at a time when all is down
When all seems lost, once and for all
in a colorless surrounding
It is right then, in the here and now,
that Life itself abounds,
and One reaches to our helplessness
with a gentle soft compounding
It is not a blazing light I see,
just a gentle touch
It is not raging words I hear,
but just a small still voice
I am not judged right here and then,
just reminded that it is near
and that I can find the rest I need
if I let Him be my choice
Jan Wienen
