Call To Prayer



Call To Prayer

I
where
every stone in the wilderness
contains a prayer we
hold our prayers in our hands -
they tell their stories
slowly, slowly

(for Terry and Alisha
Halki Island/Istanbul)




ii
the river is full to
overflowing, we are
worshipping, inside the rock, our
prayers, to the heart
of the earth -
the desert has
emptied us out,
this stone, our hearts,
waiting
to be filled.

Goreme/Anatolia
