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
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.
Amen. And thank you for this prayer, most needed.
Thank you, Stephen. This prayer is on my lips and heart with constancy I didn't realize I'd ever need. And yet, here we are.

Yes, I liked his poem as well. With your comment, I might try this form again!
Gorgeous, Amrita... "this peace like a sun-bathing anole..." Every word just right!
I'm really glad you liked it!
