Notes About The Poem

prayers go forth with the speed of hope


 

An Undeserving Prayer

Thank you lord for giving me two-hundred-and-fifty loveless nights,
for rerunning dull experiences so I can revisit past delights.

Thank you for isolation, for removing all temptations.
For drawing out this punishment far beyond my expectations.

Reward our solemn and astringent lives by helping - if you please. 
As you form galaxies from dust and your moon lifts lazy seas.

If you created life in your universe to give it all some meaning 
- then look on us with charity please, we’re in need of love and healing.

A pleasant change from your senryu style of “poetic prose” Anais, nicely done. And you deliver a message we can all relate to. John
