Prayer Changes

I sit down to offer my prayers
open to a new page of Life,
my old pages with curled corners
binds in with its wear and tear rife. 

Eyes closed I begin to pray
to ink a new lyric fresh and sweet,
off my mind goes astray
to a cry from an old sheet. 

Routine pleas turns into a ritual
a repetitive run with no change,
the pages of Life echo like a manual
or a sheaf of papers, with no range.

Mist of the morning clears with shine,
Mental fog clears with thoughts fine;
No longer do I sit, ask and whine
In giving, I find my living shrine
feeling Joy, peace and love in this opus of mine.

Thanks for organizing this contest I enjoyed participating in this. Yes the conclusion has a shift in my poem and that is what I meant prayer changes (shift in what you pray for). The title has two meanings:-). Regards,Sathya
