CONTEMPLATIVE PRAYER
Sin
Like rain
Drumming
Causes me
To feel Prayful
So, with
Veneration
And dragon
Fierceness
I spiritually
Fly Inside,
Through the
Vastness
Of the galaxy,
Leaving behind
A crowd
Of sorrows
And stars
Begin to
Burn
Beginning
To feel
Dawn dew Air,
Remembering
Harmless
Paper napkin
Ghosts.
I look
At my
Red heart
Pulse
Encountering
A fountain
Of Jesus’ blood.
I am aware
Of a weak
Force of evil
In rising oceans
And eyes
Like furnace
Doors.
I whisper
A hymn
Like a hex
And watch
Evil being
Locked in a coffin
Not covered
With roses,
And for Awhile
I feel
The pull
Of Divinity
And the Temptation
Of sin
So I watch
A green sun
On the Meadow
Of tears
While darkness
Spills
Across
The sky line.
But now,
I move
Into peace
Entering
A serene
City by the sea
As an
Angel
Locks
The door
Of the prison
Of blackness.
I am free.
