Silence. Listen.

.             
                    I
              knew you
               before I
         formed you in the
                Womb.



.       Jeremiah Ch:1 Vs:5

A quiet sacred knowing, beautifully rendered, Robert. Another favorite that I say even before getting out of bed in the morning is Frances Nuttall's "Prayer of the Chalice". Google to see how it forms the shape. Re: the title of your lantern poem: Only last night at a meeting at a local church, on the podium was the note: SILENT and LISTEN, formed using the same letters. I thought of your comment on my haiku, and now the inspired flow continues with today's. We are so blessed...thank You God.
