David Smalling Poet Haiku

The Prayers

Truckers Prayer:
Dark hill, sliding ice
O cargo of faith suffice
Wheel my heart to thee
                                          Miners Prayer:
                                     From heaven so far
                                     A darkness mines shafts of fear
                                     And your footsteps here
Shippers Prayer:
Sleep within my heart
Where breaks the tumult of sea
Like a voice of calm
                                         Mothers Prayer:
                                     Hold my hand always
                                     And my love when you are worn
                                     By life's feet in you
Pastors Prayer:
Kneeling lone I stand
For all I am, at thy throne
Vessel of a man
                                           Children Prayer:
                                      The light blinds our heart
                                      May our eyes see unseen things
                                      Covered by your grace
A Man's Prayer:
Dust fracturing light
Put a rainbow in my place
Blanket for the night
