Prayer Poem

Prayer Illumined

Digging within our own ground
In the poverty of the heart
We find a bridge to the Absolute;
Sleeping in the light, a seed of hope lay dormant
Waiting to learn how to love and be loved.

And with a match ignited, de Guadelupe’s flame
Sends vibrating ripples through the cosmos
With Mother Mary’s cries for compassion and
Infinite Nature’s whisper for
The awakened birth of universal heart;
I sit in the circular silence of breath
Connected,
Embraced,
Estatic,
Whole.

She said that the fire is already within you
But when it is fed,
It’ll blaze a great light
That will lead your path and
Illuminate your journey.
And I said I am waiting for the explosion.
