Prayer
Prayer is not as simple as it seems, yet in all reality it is the simplest thing you can do.
A prayer is not only words that spill from my lips, it also the movements I make within my frame.
It is the words dripped in pain, and joy, and action of my frame within the pain that dares to make me kneel.
A prayer is a song, it is a dance, it is the march of the foot and the beat of a drum.
It is where I go when all seems to be negative and blinding and racking up points of 'bad things' that have happened in today's single frame.
It is where I go when things that should not have worked out, do exactly as needed for a life that lives singularly on the trust in something I can't see.
It is a place, and space, an atmosphere, it is something I can feel in my stardust bones.
It is a living thing that I grasp within my spirit, a live wire that can be tranquil.
It is an action I do each night before my eyelids fall and I slip into slumber.
It is presence in something I have seen deep long ago, where my existence was apart of God, and I fluttered in and out of his heart like a firefly of brilliant light.
It is the words that bundle up in my chest, spill from my throat, and drips into puddles at my feet while standing.
It is free verse and it is sometimes a repetition of the Psalms.
It is small, yet it can be one of the most powerful things in the world.
Many say " I will pray for you" and simply mean "I am sorry, I will do nothing."
When those words, though rare in their occurrence, slip from my petals it means I have do all I can do before hand, I have fed your body, given life rafts to your spirit and soul.
When I say I will pray, it is not a notion of non confrontation to the world surrounding us.
Prayer is the beating in your heart, and you whisper "Thank God..Oh sweet wondrous things..thank you."
It is the tears that he catches as you weep from the torment and anguish within your being
It is the anger that floods you when you see the pain of the world and feel powerless
Prayer is the cloak you were even when nude, it was there at your birth, and will be there when you pass from the bindings of earth
To remember something once spoken to me,
'Prayer from sincerity, hope from truth, can make the world change, even if all you are given access to is renewed hope.'
This is my prayer everyday, may it also help those that need it.
"May for every one bad thing that thrusts itself before us, may two helpful and beautiful things take its place, Amen. "
