I am a student of prophets
But I am not a Christian or a Jew
I pray to the east
But not for Islam
I begin meditation with a singing bowl and mala
Yet I am not Buddhist
My address is an apartment
Yet my soul live in a longhouse
Yearning for the comfort of a sanctuary
My cauldron is enormous
Yet I’m not a Pagan or Wiccan
I see with my third eye
But I’m not a Hindu
I breathe in and out pranayama yoga
Though I’ve never read the Vedas
As I fold my laundry I sing songs
Born in the hearts of slaves deep in the past
Yet my soul is free
I listen in silence
Yet hear everything at once
And to all this I am thankful
That I am at one in Harmony
