Prayer

Ancient deity of water and sky
Hear my most unworthy cry
Know that I ask without greed or guile
To borrow your strength for a little while
Although this prayer is my desire
I only ask what is truly required
Bathing in your sacred breath
As I sit in this circle in the earth
Knowing the elemental power
I convene with you at this zero hour

I enjoy couplets and this one is no exception, Jenni. A well expounded prayer to the Almghty Power that Is. I see you are new to the Soup. I wish you a hearty welcome along with your fine poetry. It's a good place to happen and you will meet many fine poetic people here. The quality of your poetry suggests that you have been writing for a significant amount of time. Welcome! I
