When I close my eyes to pray I see

an apple orchard white with spring,

a doe at dawn, a bullet strike a beating heart

and apple blossoms turned

to ice and snow.

When I close my eyes to pray I hear

a children’s choir, angel wings,

heartbeats from the Ghetto, screams from

the crematorium, the Enola Gay taking off

and fire bombs exploding

on the streets of Dresden.

When I close my eyes to pray I kneel

and feel His crown of thorns upon my head,

the Towers shattered glass impale my eyes,

a child from Baghdad, Lebanon, Israel

or Palestine, searching for my hand.

I'm not quite sure how this makes me feel, but I feel it. Wow.

When you close your eyes and pray you become a reflection of all that isn't aligned to divine perfection, you hurt and your pain is felt and surely heard.

This is an intense write that shows that you care.

Love,
