Nature Prayer
Above the grass, a-buzz with bees
upon a mellow summer breeze,
the morning sun warms by degrees
and from my sleepy memory flees
the smother of the night’s unease
which led me broken, to my knees.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Might I accept that what one sees
in humble moments such as these
by skyward visions through the trees
entranced by warbling ancient seas
these secret, sacred reveries
piercing, piercing, my soul appease.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Thus, when swallowed by disease
or trapped between realities
oh might I grasp, and ever seize
my God, I beg, I beg it please;
the healing warmth of summer breeze
to guide me whole, back from my knees.
