Listening

The search for peace begins within
I hear the names of God
I hear the names of the Gods
chanted out before me
Their names float and hang in air
Bodies enraptured to the vibrations
cause by this fervent devotion
Can you hear me
Can you hear us
Your children
calling out to you
This home you have given us
These bodies we live in
Time passing through it all
I close my eyes
I am listening
The voice reveals itself
Strong as wind
Gentle leaves whispering
