When you pray

When you pray, remove from your heart all worldly concerns.
- Nahmanides, letter to his son Nahman, 1268

When You Pray

When you pray
Enter the closet
Where only you and God exist.

Stay until you find
Only God exists.

Now, begin your prayer.

Your poem provides me with an exquisite posture as I meditate and pray the body prayers Sa'adi suggests.

Ya Shakur!
