A Unique Power

Prayer
Is for me
A unique type of power
Prayer
Is a lifeline
A means of disentangling
The vines of worry
Within one’s head
A way to empty
So as to focus
To fill 
With a semblance
Of peace

Prayer germinated peace
Is a peace 
Beyond the reach
Of worldly woes
Worldly worries
A peace which grows
From faith
Out of the Heart of Love

Peace fed by faith
And truth
Is not of this world
But is present in this world
It can lend clarity
Commitment
And courage
To our walk 
Upon this earth.

I pray to a God of Love
To the Spirits of Love
Those gone beyond
Who loved deeply
Gave dearly
And, I imagine
May now weep
At the evil
Present in our world.

Can Love from afar
Change the hearts 
Of those living in the flesh today?
Please let it be so

It is my prayer
that all hearts
be opened
even a crack
that a beam of Light
might enter
to warm
and soften
to stifle fear
and nurture compassion

Prayer
Deep, quiet, wordless prayer
Entering the presence of Love
May it soothe our souls
Renew our Spirit
And inform our paths

May prayer
Heal the United States of America
May prayer
Bring love, compassion
And truth in action
To our fragile
World.
