Have you seen a crab on the beach, <br />Running towards the water of the sea? <br />That is how our brain feels <br />Getting closer to divine wisdom <br />When we silently pray <br /> <br />Have you seen a young tree <br />Its roots penetrating the earth <br />Its branches embracing the air <br />That is how our heart feels <br />Reaching out for love <br />When we silently pray <br /> <br />Have you seen a piece of bread <br />That was dropped in a bowl of soup <br />Drenched, completely wet <br />Its texture changed forever <br />That is how our soul longs <br />To be immersed in our Creator <br />When we silently pray.<br /><br />Aufie Zophy<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/x-when-we-silently-pray/
