Religious Awakening

Half past five in the morning

Still dark and quiet in Antalya

I’m waking up to a male voice

Slowly chanting a sweet song

Even though I don’t understand

The words, it becomes clear

A religious call from the mosque

To my amazement I clearly feel

A strong, emotional response

Coming from deep within

Then the singing stops

Leaving an ocean of silence

And the resonance of prayer
