Another Poem -- A Prayer

[unico_love]

A Prayer

I pray to you prostrated

But I am floating away

A little more each day

The world closes around me

A cube instead of a sphere

A tightly-wrapped gift box

Full of surprises

I tread water to escape this mess

I want this evil washed and rinsed

I want to be cleansed

Pure again as I was with him

We made each other holy

In your absence, at your whim

But I know in the cosmos

You reign everywhere--

Far beyond place or time

When I retreat to live a life bare

You await my homecoming.

No depression can undo love

And no love is greater than yours

For I have been gifted webs

Of ecstasy by your touch

Floating, glowing lantern lights

Swirling in our universal carousel

In which even the little ant doth dwell

Do not worry

I may be slow --

But I will return.
