Poet's Prayer

Poet's prayer Oh muse of poetry, hear my prayer, Grant me the gift of eloquent flair, To string words together in harmony, And paint vivid pictures with my poetry. May my verses flow like a river, Smooth and steady, without a quiver, May my rhymes dance like music, And my words be potent like magic. May my poetry inspire and move, To bring joy, love, and hope to prove, May it heal the broken-hearted, And lift the souls that have departed. Oh, muse of poetry, guide my pen, Through dark nights and light again, Fill me with words that ring true, And help me to craft poetry anew. May my lines touch hearts and minds, And linger long after they unwind, May my poems live on for all time, A testament to the beauty of the divine. Oh muse of poetry, I humbly pray, Guide me on this poetic way, Help me to honor the gift you give, And in my writing, forever live. By Otieno Elvis Gikoi THE ELO’S POETRY
