The Privilege of prayer
Between porch and altar
Gates open
there my lover meet
place of rest and peace
abundant love encircles
surrender and release
my desire found
sharing depths of pain
given joy instead of shame
presenting all needs
communing, exchanging
travailing, lamenting
blessing and healing
the privilege of prayer
Loop Poetry prompt... "NOW"
To Be present
Or retreat?
The sounds of the day,
to embrace or delete?
"Now" a gift promised,
Tomorrow not guaranteed.
To squander and waste
or step where he leads?
"Now" to be enjoyed and delighted in,
each moment to be greeted.
Holding on to or reaching for Time,
Futile leaving one defeated.
"Now" is the time to be lived in fullness,
to be still and know.
Mission completed.
