Patience



Tagore asks the Lord to let him hear his voice. When he can't hear him, he tells the Lord that it is okay. he will just wait in His Silence until the time is right for him to hear Him. He knows it is worth waiting for because when he hears him, His voice will reverberate from all parts of him and encompass everything in the universe.

Gitanjali:

If thou speakest not I will fill my heart with thy silence and endure it.

I will keep still and wait like the night with starry vigil and its head bent low with patience.

The morning will surely come, the darkness will vanish,

and thy voice pour down in golden streams breaking through the sky.

Then thy words will take wing in songs from every one of my birds' nests,

and thy melodies will break forth in flowers in all my forest groves.
