poem 86

“in my room I prayed in secret 

behind closed doors 

and let out pure gratitude 

through my vocal chords 

throat chakra was opened

it was flowing

God entered the room

without me knowing 

gave me a blessing

for my strong faith

shared his wisdom

and went on his way

as I prostrate myself

I give thanks for my life

knowing it can be taken away

at any time."
