Meditation -1, Prayer — 0
By Jane Tawel
January 12, 2022
*
If I meditate on you,
seeing through you today,
as you were when young, as you will be when old,
then all my telling and all I am told,
fades away, and I see you.
and I see me, at last,
free;
but it is a freedom, frightening,
and I prefer to chain myself again
to outcomes and perceptions.
I will try again tomorrow,
to see through you to the little child,
and I will replant my own seed
in the womb of wholeness,
at least if only
for just a fleeting moment of conception.
In new conception, one finds Eternal Love.
*
If I meditate on You,
I feel fear and uncertainty,
because I think of You as a thought,
and that You should be somewhere.
