What is a prayer?
A promise, a plea,
an opportunity to
close your eyes
and for a moment see.
What can we see
in this precious moment?
A truth, a scene,
a freedom for the
heart presently open.
How do we open
the heart that sealed?
Let faith and hope
be to its bound lock
a key that steals.
Now a healing heart
is wedged slightly open;
what can we say
with a mouth
dammed in flowing?
Allow the heart
to empty into said flow;
the Lord will there plant
the seeds needed
to begin words sow.
