Prayer

[NikolaiI]

Listen to the voice of God,
The light in darkness,
The master and Lord of the universe,
The glorious and beautiful One who says,
Be still, and know that I am God,
Whenever two or more are gathered in My name,
I am there,
Fear not, for I am with you.

Listen, and see,
Raise your voices to the air,
Fear not, for the One who creates and destroys worlds
in a breath is within you.

This is enlightenment,
simply, realization of the divine,
of truth and bliss,
self-control,
surrender to the divine.
Awakening--
Supreme enlightenment is this.

Om Tat Sat
Om Gate Gate Paragate Parasamgate Bodhi Sva!

[Dark Muse]

Nicely written. I particuarly liked the ending of the poem.

And I really liked this line, becasue it made me think of Shiva


Fear not, for the One who creates and destroys worlds

[qimissung]

A very beautiful prayer. I especially like the line "for the One who creates and destroys worlds in a breath is within you." What a powerful image.

This prayer has something unfound anywhere, a beauty surpassing all others, a message that is universal in nature and a direction that leads us to Nirvana. Nikolai I love your poem.
