A Prayer's Edge
Each time you call
Your hunger from a prayer's edge
Tangled like a wing
In human webs of knowledge,
Your voice like a ticking clock
Hovers over a deeper fall
From the rock
Of faith made slippery like gall
Slimed upon our perseverance
Each time I cradle
Your voice against my ear
And heaven in my heart
That I may tell the subtle truth
Till faith overcomes
What tears our joy apart
I prayed today
And prayed as much before
That you will not in grief's dismay
Decide your exit through the door
Into the howling restless wind
Into the howling restless wind
The line to heaven is always open
Hold on, love
Hold on,
Angels are gathering for the dawn
