I Cannot Pray

I cannot pray
but I can dance
rough praises in my feet and hands

I cannot pray
but I can sing
the music that my soul demands

I cannot pray
but I can touch Creation’s love 
through fingers, skin

I cannot pray 
but I can live
a holy light that shines within

No sacred writ
contains the wealth of God
of my embodied self

If you can’t pray then
Don’t despair
In the heart of God, all life is prayer.
