The Voice of Prayer

The touch of your holy palms

Destroys the burden of life.

Your mere, loving glance

Blinds the greed of the world.

Among the millions of prayers

I have dedicated to your feet,

The reaching of your hand

Is the barrier between you and me.

Your loving grace

Reveals the beauty of life,

But in its fathoming depths,

Your essence still lingers.

Between the walls of tradition

And the obstacles that await me,

I wish for your blessing

Upon my grateful soul.

Please give me the strength

To continue my search

And to follow in your footsteps

Towards the path of spirituality.

Fill my eyes with tears

Of love and joy

And grant me the wisdom

To sing in your name.
