On Composing Prayers
Institutional prayers belong on a shelf
I can compose them much better myself...
I am but a tiny speck, you God are immense --
Too obviously true; that'll never do, so hence
I cry out to You, but words escape me --
Hmm, someone's already written this plea --
I search for You in places hidden deep away --
No, the Lord's found everywhere and every day
You come to me unbidden by cover of night --
Would God ever want to cause me fright?...
The Lord is my Shepherd
I shall not want...
Now, that sounds so elegant --
Words that I thought were so easy to write
Only true genius can produce such delight
