I sit in a silence that is deafening

The beads move invisibly between my fingers

Each prayer a silent thought

My mind wanders through your warmth

I feel your serenity as it seeps through my very soul

I touch your strength and I hold it to me

The warmth of your breath rhythmically caresses my skin

I steal deeper into the hollow of your life

Your body wrapped round me like a baby's shawl

Lulls me to sleep

I am at peace with the world,

I am at peace with myself

My hands open in supplication

I bow my head

I ask you to receive all that I am
