It can be heard in the doleful cry
Of a lonely whippoorwill . . . In zephyr winds that softly touch The nodding daffodil. It can be seen in myriad reflections On a moonlit lake . . . In candles gleaming happily Upon a birthday cake. It can be felt in soothing warmth Of summer's shining sun . . . In rhythmic throbbing when two hearts Beat metrically as one. It can be smelled in sun-parched planting's Gratitude for shower . . . In the scent when soft wind kisses Spring's first fragrant flower. It can be savored only in Undying thirst for Thee . . . In lonely man imploring God In meek humility. It can be sensed while treading in The paths where saints have trod . . . In living, talking, loving, walking Hand-in-hand with God. the six senses of prayer - anne shannon demarest - 1965
