A Prayer

 

Lord!
One day I will be gone.
Until that happens,
Let me be born everyday:
With the Knowledge of Self.

 

Lord!
When my eyes are wide open,
Empower them to recall,
The entire miracle:
You bestow upon me.

 

Lord!
When my meditating eyes
Are closed and motionless;
Let them behold You:
Like piercing light of guidance.

 

Lord!
When I speak,
Whisper softly in my ears,
True words of:
Lasting intelligence.

 

Lord!
In our unconquerable chaos,
Give us all,
The ready willpower to heal:
Each other in our circumstances.
