The Heretic Prays Poem by Eric Cockrell

the heretic kneels
by the old willow tree
alone in the darkness

with life....

and prays....
with no need for salvation,
redemption, or change....

no thought of self,
of need and want,
he just lets go...

and prays....

nameless, part of all....
formless, evolving forms.....
from soul to spirit....

becoming....

the scripture of small creatures,
the hymns of the wind.....
eternity unleashed in each moment.....

the heretic prays!
