Prayer Poem

May you rest easy in 

afternoon's hammock

 

woven from the care

and kindness

of friends

 

and always awaken

replenished,

 

a cool breeze 

kissing and 

caressing

your skin.

 

May the generous

hummingbird fly

 

from flower to flower

in your green garden,

 

each sweet second

another surprise

 

for bright eyes

ready

to hear,

alert ears

primed

to see

this singing

this great light

shimmering silver

all through

and out of

the drifting

darkness.
