Peace Prayer
Peace Prayer after Kevin Hart O come, this peace like a sun-bathing anole, heat-drowsed on the stony way because of relentless betrayal or come as a sparrow preening, fluttering playing in the bath because of impending aftermath yes, come drifting in, bouquet of night-blooming jasmine to lull my burdened heart because the nation, rending us apart Come now, you’re needed now before it’s too late ahead of doomsday reaching midnight because of desperate plight Come peace, please come now
Amen. And thank you for this prayer, most needed.
I love call and response. The dialog of beauty and darkness/need, yin and yang making the whole. I went and read Kevin Hart's poem and I like it too. I like that the form of it really makes a nice container for prayer.
