My Journey to God

Morning Prayer

In silence,
the heart calms,
then trembles,
responds to claims of love
yet unrealized, and

pauses,
captivated by its
secret intonation;
a sonorous chant
unfolding in quiet waves,

and in the empty land of
longing and desire,
a single bloom, just out of reach,
promises a world reborn.
