How soon until we meet

I have no church no walls and seats
no organ booming thunder  
my orator the wind in quiet streets
as i walk and ponder
how soon until we meet
 
I am that martyr intent upon the deed
a vest to welcome death
the Qurans word my soul will speed
good and evil in that sheath
how soon until we meet
 
As I stand beneath a Buddha's  deity
cross egged draped with saffron hue
and contemplate on faiths sown seed
the narrow path to lifes best view
how soon until we meet
 
My Hindi strives to faith complete  
to bathe in holy waters  
the sacred Ganges clean and be set free
the smoke from funeral pyres stream
how soon until we meet
 
An othadox a black suit theology
that Torah  
the pain, the wailing wall has seen
for that Easter and a crucifix  
how soon until we meet
 
Here lies a question indiscreet
a prayer that letterhead of need
that you will answer in a miracle revealed  
how soon until we meet
please RSVP me
