STEPS TO PRAY.

I must desire and choose to pray!

Yet, there are times when I would be there

But would not know what to say;

Simply acknowledging my desire

In those moments

Is the first step on the way.

ETERNAL NIGHT

There is not much one can do in the middle of the night;

Maybe play within his fantasy;

Or take another bite of the flesh of the apple;

Plot and plan another day in the light;

Which we all know is only a presumed promise,

A tomorrow more hoped for than assured.

What then?

There is a moment now that is alive

Though I be barely breathing and

More longing for the sleep

That accompanies the dark.

Yes, eternity is singing its praises

In the silence and the solitude,

Like the holy night of Christmas,

Felt every year for its magic.

Now though in the madness of a march to spring

Such enchantment would need more reverie and prayer

To recapture such a sacred season;

But it is there.

It is there for the asking;

Or maybe the simple basking in the feeling

Of the love and the silence and the solitude

Of the darkness.

DIRTY PART

My journey, for the most part,

Has been respected and loved,

Until I had to exlpore the dirty

To understand the road of life enough

Where everyone is different and not perfect

Because of the dirt which they have been

Themselves a part of.
