Prayer

 Prayer

      I am
        me
    and no
        one
          else.

        I turned away
    to find myself
           from under
            all this rubble.

I had to go to
    find my shadow.

   I had to go to find my
brother and sister.

    I’m looking for my
        power.

    I’ve been space holding
   for so long, and
covering over and
        drifting wide.

    Not writing the 
letters of intent.
         Of regret.
            Of heaven sent.
            Of descent.
    Missing meanings.
        Short faces.

        Hold on together
     to this long wind
        of blessed air.
 
        Not in
                that
                           space…
