O You Who Are..
O You who, so they say, say
that You are me myself,
that I myself am You -
or Who does not, in truth, say that;
since You created me as You yourself,
brooking no division and no doubt…
then teach me, who am You yourself
to know myself; to know
that I indeed know this in deed; and to rejoice
in knowing that I know…
teach me to know, in stillness, that
which I already know
for You have known this in myself;
You who stand when I stand;
sit when I sit; even
think when I think – even
when my thinking is not Yours –
You who are where praise and prayer meet;
where prayer and praise are silence
and that silence, full of You..

I would like to translate this poem
Silent praise to the Great I Am. - a most wonderful prayer and usage of word upon word. Thank you for this.
