A Little Whisper in Your Heart

Children,

Why do all tongues insist on a different term for “conversation” when it pertains to Me?

It is honesty on your part though.

For ours does not have
the communication,
the fellowship
the communion,
of other conversations you know.

Instead you offer
chatter,
ceremony,
superstitious formulaic chants,
a shopping list of needs and wishes.

You tell Me what you want and think.
You say you cannot hear Me.

But perhaps you do not listen.

I wish you would stop praying,
So we could really just talk.
