| | Lewis's poem entitled 'Prayer':
Master, they say that when I seem
To be in speech with you,
Since you make no replies, it's all a dream
--One talker aping two.
They are half right, but not as they
Imagine; rather, I
Seek in myself the things I meant to say,
And lo! the wells are dry.
Then, seeing me empty, you forsake
the Listener's role, and through
My dead lips breathe and into utterance wake
the thoughts I never knew.
And thus you neither need reply
nor can; thus, while we seem
Two talking, thou art One forever, and I
No dreamer, but thy dream.
Btw, I graduated from medical school:

Great poem. I feel a little silly not having realized that CS Lewis wrote poetry.
CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!
