VERSE | PALMS TOGETHER

Palms together
Cradling the chakra of your heart
You give of your essence to the world
You pray for healthfulness
For the fruition of dreams and things
The prayer travels from your lips
Like a flock of migrating starlings
It moves with purpose and with aim
Of ardent supplications

It then joins hands with other wraiths
With other ghosts in the gold-green ether
Of immaculate petitions and pleas
That linger in grace fulfilled, replete
And also those that hopeful remain
Floating like fireflies, lighting the way
For other prayers that have lost their way
In the cosmos of blessed invocation

Palms together
Facing the chakra of my solar plexus
I send my own missive into the universe
There are no words to this appeal
My gut sends the scriptless message for me
I’m not quite sure of what it is
I close my eyes and soundlessly
Wordlessly, I send out my energy
To take on what form it will
In the maya of our collective dreams.
