The Holiest Prayer Hidden

 

Atlantic sun blazes across

salt laden foamy white caps.

Far eastern Pacific moon

glows blood red with eerie

blackened veins circulating through

its light emitting surface.

Only one single being of majestic splendor,

almighty arms encircling a physical universe,

from his encampment in the purity of white light.

Leaf barren trees bearing barks

of brown, blackish, silver, some bleach white.

Autumn chill pierces human skin,

animals winter furs have risen from pores on skin.

Spring warmth comes not soon enough,

caressing the creatures of winter's hibernation,

green bud points pierce winter's hibernating bark.

Let us humble ourselves

before such a majestic name.

Bi colored roses bloom, as moisture fallen

evaporates rapidly from the heat of the

projected, nuclear fusion light years away.

Let all things beyond the realm of the physical

universe, which we study with magnification, become a

reality to this planet which we are entrapped within.

Majority of rivers flow southward in the northern hemisphere,

headwaters breaking from underneath their glacial origins.

Water brings life from peaks to salty dense seas.

We drink of the fresh, we navigate the salt.

Let us have our daily nourishments.

Air, water, juice of the vines, partake

of the grains of the fields, gain energy from the

roots of the ground, the vegetation on the surface,

fruits of the trees, fowls of the air,

finned and shelled creatures from

beneath the salty and fresh waters,

the hoofed of the grounds from which they roam.

And let not us be led astray,

and when doing so, let us pause,

reflect and seek mercy, grace, favor,

and most of all forgiveness,

as we should do to those against us.

And may we pause before crossing,

certain our feet are directionally correct,

not unstable, unsure or too feeble

to safely navigate our way

along our own crooked path.

May we not tread, tempt or flirt with danger,

or with darkness without light.

But lead us on by a light beyond our own physical

sight, and deliver us from the evils' forked tongue.

 

And let the wise be filled with insight,

and find the Lord's Prayer within.

 

For men have written,

“For Thine is the Glory,

and the power, forever, and

ever.”

 

Amen.
