God on Mute

So I've recently picked up a book called 'God on Mute' which tackles the question of unanswered prayer. I must confess it's been something that I've been struggling with. I'll blog again about this book when I'm done but here's a poem in it.

Engaging the Silence
first
there is
.......prayer
and where there is prayer
there may be
.......miracles
but where miracles may not be
there are
.......questions
and where there are questions
there may be
.......silence
but silence may be
more than
.......absence
silence
may be presence
.......muted
silence
may not be nothing but
.......something
to explore
defy accuse
.......engage
and
this is
.......prayer
and when there is prayer
there may yet be
miracles...
