that knows knows when a prayer
that knows knows when a prayer
shapes the silence
who among the spaces senses
a prayer as it wings its path to the heart
that knows
a flight quite swift
aboard a whisper still quite mute
its sighs a song
only when it alights
on the heart that knows knows
its birth as a prayer
in the heart
only the heart that knows
knows only the source of Life
who knows what a prayer
lays down bares surrenders
to the heart that knows
who knows what peace
what healing what flowers
in a prayer
only the heart of the Son
who is the Father who is the Spirit
who is the heart that knows
who is the soul that prays
