Prayer

Oh Mother!
I see your
blood-shot eyes
glow from afar,
as I wait in line
for the moment, the spark,
to touch the vermilion
that sets my heart afire,
to empty my cup
of all wishes and desire.
I come home
to the loving space
that holds me, humbles me,
with your divine grace.
I close my eyes,
my hands close in too,
I hold a prayer in my heart,
what more can I do?
no words, no thoughts,
just an empty, warm silence,
wraps me up safe, as I
offer my all to You, in obeisance.
