And the bird
Prays
To
The air
By the grace of
Its wings-
The moth
To the light
In annihilation by the flame.

The ocean
Worships
The
Moon
Through the rise and fall
Of her body-
And the earth praises
The sun
In circular devotion.

The wind communes
To endless plaines
By the ceasless symphony
Of its howl-
The whisper tells its
Sweetest mysteries
In a passioned lovers
Breath.

And I-
I pray to what lies
Just beyond life's thinnest veil,
Through the temples
Found
Within
Your
Eyes.

I like the soft tone of your poem and the many numerous images that it stimulates. I really liked the duel meanings of temple as you use it here in your poem. Again, very nice poetry and let me also extend to you a hearty Welcome. God Bless.

I pray unto thee all the live long day.
I love poetry that sounds like a prayer
and yours sure does to me. Keep up the good work.

Your awareness of connection to the Source of Existence conveyed this wonderful song of creation to the Creator ....

And I-
I pray to what lies
Just beyond life's thinnest veil,
Through the temples
Found
Within
Your
Eyes.

... the vision of the Divine in the eyes of one another ...
Magical prayer/poem Eric!
Love, Margherita
