Isaiah 64

Yep, that's what I was reading when I wrote this following poem. More of a prayer, actually, but anyways, as I read that passage today, it felt as though I were watching the words being written down for it in the Prophet Isaiah's hand over 2,000 years ago.

"Silent Letters"
by Neil Mullins


These silent letters
form the words
that form the sentences
that form the verses
written down from Heaven
from the voice of God.

Oh God, I pray to You,
I ask You, please instill Your Word in me...
let me drink in these passages
like water from an oasis,
and do not beseech me
when I set my eyes upon them.

Show me where I have erred from Your ways
and show me where I can take comfort in Your grace
let not my heart interpret where it wishes
but speak to it and heal it, restore it
with these silent letters
that form the words from the mouth of God.
