Warriors

Cold granite warms our folded hands,
     fearsome warriors of intent prayer.
Content not content to stay on
     surface, each breath kindles Spirit flare.
Cogency calls kingdom come, tongues
      of a few faithful do declare.

Dear Kim, I love your alliterative message about the depth and transformative nature of prayer. Yes, true prayer is not satisfied with superficiality but seeks to ignite a deeper spiritual connection with each breath. Merry Christmas, My Dear Friend, Daniel
