Examining My Unexamined Life.......Part III... Sharing: Gratitude

My Favorite Prayer

When you pray, lay aside thoughts

that peck at the body and dive after souls

fears that give birth to needs

concerns that lay ambush to the future

mistakes that make poison of the past

When you pray, lay aside thoughts

of where you are and what you are doing

of your struggle to walk the Chosen Path

even your hopes to leave behind

a few final footsteps in the sand

Then pull from under you

what little ground you still stand on

and fall

like a feather into the hand of God

Rest there lightly, so very lightly

that when you think about it

(which you will not do!)

you will feel no longer where you end

and God begins.
