In the quiet, non-responsiveness
of the Lord
I rest.
There is nothing else to do 
when I am there – 
for I have exhausted 
worry 
begging and pleading 
and tears of suffering 
unending 
and have found them 
wanting 
and only
robbing me 
of the beauty 
in the quiet, non-responsiveness 
of my Lord – 
that place where I find peace 
simply 
because 
I trust 
in the quiet, non-responsiveness 
of my Lord.
