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

Only in pain can truth survive...and words be of light..I personally believe there's nothing that not been written...we can only write it our way...
