A Poem For Today - Prayer: 1

[KEN DICKINSON]



Prayers: 1

Don't let me fall

As a stone falls upon the hard ground.

And don't let my hands become dry

As the twigs of a tree

When the wind beats down the last leaves.

And when the storm raises dust from the earth With anger and howling,

Don't let me become the last fly

Trembling terrified on a windowpane.

Don't let me fall.

I have asked for so much,

But as a blade of your grass in a distant wild field

Lets drop a seed in the lap of the earth 

And dies away,

Sow in me your living breath, 

As you sow a seed in the earth.

Kadya Molodowski
