Stopping Prayer

It's past midnight,
I lie in bed
Discussing the day gone by
With my Maker,
But I must learn
To stop prayer too
At the right moment,
In thought that is,
And in complete silence
Merge into Him/Her
So that with the morn
Begins yet another chance
To honour Him/Her
Who gives us this cosmos
To serve, enjoy and conquer.
