re-post

I wrote a poem that I posted on my other blog. Since it is (partly) a prayer for Athan, it seems appropriate to include it here:

Mark 9:24 (for the Venables and Athan)

a bird by-
tip of branch
in tip of beak;
i search sky-
ink in hand
to write or speak
words?

my son sleeps-
unaware
of heart's pale beat;
my friends weep-
spent eyes there.
in need we seek
prayer.

clouds roll through-
sun and shade,
so faith and fear;
seeking You
words evade.
be Healer near
please
