Whispers At Night

Image Source

At night you have dreams
of kneeling in prayer
to a God whom
you
have closed your heart to
like old friends
whom occasionally
remember
what was,
your lips whisper
holy names
you
don't open your eyes
but
behind your eyelids
there is an image
of a holy place
a holy heart
you don't say her name
but she
is on your
tongue.
