Because the wall has ears,
I will hide what I feel.
Because the world can see what I do,
I will act appropriately.
Because God knows my heart,
I am only honest with Him.
Yet I'm told I have to say aloud
what I share with God -
though my voice is soft,
and raising it is against my ways.
So I am hiding a secret treasure,
that no one sees or hears...
Compassion, humility, loving-kindness, mercy...
they are but reflections
of the mind of serenity
that quiet meditation brings to me,
this complex, imperfect person
who has opened his heart to God.
