Prayer To A Soul
Feet, set me on that path my heart imagined in those few moments
of contented, youthful dreams
Let me not waver now nor drift, fight with me against my seeking eyes
that never rest nor focus long
Upon what moments before were attracting my attention
I am too easily distracted by reflected light from the sun on the water
or the sound of a mocking bird outside of my kitchen window
but I ignore the ring of my phone somehow every easily
Whatever may be of divine origin inside of me that struggles
within the many rooms of my busy mind
Let that not be destroyed my soul, nor silenced forever
Lead my feet on the path that will keep my heart open
even though I ignore the phone ringing so easily.
