The prayer of Immensity

The prayer of Immensity                                                           
 
I used to crawl through the Universal Prayer
on my hands and knees,
 
entering through a hatch
in the O before Parvardigar.
 
By lying flat, twisting myself here and there,
I could inch my way to the last word of worship.
 
But, one morning, midway through, I tripped
a hidden switch or brushed a secret lever,
 
or, perhaps, it was the power of one word
spoken with heartfelt sincerity –
 
the whole prayer expanded to the dimensions
of the descriptions within it.
 
Not just the firmament and the depths,
but on all planes and beyond . . .
 
the three worlds and beyond . . .
the source of Truth, the Ocean of Love,
 
beyond and beyond and still yet beyond . . .
time and space, imagination and conception.
 
I found myself in an endless void as the words
of the prayer rose to my lips and faded in my ears.
 
O child of God, this is the prayer of Immensity –
the Immeasurable, the Unnamable and Incomprehensible. 
 
O child of God, recite faithfully the Universal Prayer.
It’s about you and who you really are.
