and whispers
sung in harmony
or discord.
Oratory eloquent
or lacking
a single word
no sound, breathless.
Anchored fast
yet still adrift
feather touches
of a wind
untamable.
From the day's
first light
until eyes shut
for sleep
from heartbeat
to heartbeat
all is prayer.
Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in Your sight, O LORD, my strength and my Redeemer Psalm 19:14 NKJV
Stop by Jason's where this week's Warrior Poet Circle prompt was prayer.

ReplyDeleteAs beautiful as it is true.
ReplyDeleteThankful it doesn't have to look or sound a certain way :)
ReplyDeleteThank you for this lovely wholesome prayer that lifts the spirit.
ReplyDeleteLovely!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, Karin. Prayer is like an ongoing conversation, "heartbeat to heartbeat," punctuated by those whispers and shouts.
ReplyDeleteWhen we slow down enough to hear the thump, thump, no audible word needs awakening. Breath alone can exchange our relationship to God...and yet the verse of longing posted at the end is needful.
ReplyDeleteShouts and whispers in praise to him. :)
ReplyDeleteThis is a beautiful description of prayer...whether no sound or "oratory eloquent"...lovely. And I like what Brian said about our breathing, "yhwh".
