How do you imagine God beholds you?

Prayer is the descent of the heart, which melts when struck with God's love.

Note: I wrote this poem after reading "The Jacob's Ladder" by Denise Levertov.

It is a treacherous thing,
to go climbing with angels--

they make it look so easy.

Perhaps I should just sit
and watch for a while,

letting my heart make the ascent.

Springtime melodies
move rocks to dance in the stream--
water and earth are one.

Jesus couldn't possibly go there, could he?
