my prayer

my prayer is:
to empty myself of myself
so that I may see, touch, taste, smell, hear, feel and sense
the fullness of your glory
to love myself as to feel worthy of you
to humble myself into constant gratitude for making me your instrument
to silence myself as to hear your symphony
to embrace my fear and limitation as doorways to your love
to forgive myself and dissolve into your timeless grace
to forgive myself for putting you outside of me

my prayer is to no longer have a prayer
to no longer speak, but to be spoken
to no longer hear or be heard
to no longer feel or be felt
to no longer a touch or be touched
to no longer smell or be fragrant
to no longer a taste or be tasted

in that place of no place,
the sensor and the sensed are one and the same
and the prayer is silent --End
