prayers go forth with the speed of hope


 

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
