Prayers Unfolded

You knelt in the brilliant light Of morning prayer Head bowed in your humbled offering Of a trying heart You started your pathway forward Anew Refreshed Awash Confessed In that quiet space of serenity Where light was more than just a promised gift Your heart fell open to the truth of love And it's lasting healing power You said you spoke to your God And He answered Giving you miraculous clarity Long overdue You announced... Proclaimed... Pronounced... Exalted... Our bond was blessed and strong The heavens had smiled upon you At last! At last! Your just rewards I watched your branches grow Reaching towards greater understanding Of what your life could be Your face wore a radiance To challenge the sun Every star dipped within your reach Yours, for the taking As so it was written... I prayed in my own gentle way Away from your eyes But ever close to your heart For daily deliverance And unwavering faith For responsible knowledge And divine direction With golden certain affirmation That our combined beliefs Were strong enough To push aside any doubt and wrong doing That we would steer from the outside temptation Of throwing it all away You spread your prayer mat Onto the simple wood of my floor Without conceit Just a simple man In her simple home In a safe and sturdy place Unafraid to be venerable And vested in the brand new beginnings Of being IN the present... "I am HE" "HE is HERE" "In this moment" "All is mine" "My soul has found it's home... With hers" And so I saw and I was converted
