“Dear Great Spirit”
Morning prayer goes like
Help me To comfort, To Understand,
And love. To give what I want.
So GOD!
Relieve me the bondage of my great downfall,
as it falls into a pot of the past,
then I may listen, and stroll upon your waterty night skies.
Coated in stardust
knowing this place is unexpected.
Amen
That’s what I have to get my eyes.
see the bark,
splintering off the tree, that fell onto a reminder
To breathe,
To watch a beautiful wreckage
grow out the sky.
For I have to give up the idea that it
is more important how I look,
than how I see.
Being grateful,
for ungrateful things, creates light.
Night prayer goes like
Thank you for this God,
Thank you for this wonderful day God,
Thanks that I cried today in front of another person,
that I shared that sadness.
thank you that I spent my day being resentful,
that I wasn't doing my job at work,
that I don’t have a dad, that my Mum is brilliant.
Thank you for the beautiful wreckages
that I don’t even notice anymore,
thank you for my ability to cry again.
Thank you that I’ve realized shatter,
is just as priceless as feeling whole.
And above all!
Thank you for helping me realize that today,
That today was just Wednesday.
Amen
