Prayer of Beauty

31 March 2006


Her beauty was a prayer
her presence a soul untwined
This love - this lust within
was there value in her worth

A woman of solace
her purity stained
To sleep - to hold
to want - to need

But what of God
would He ever answer
Those quests in questions unread
why was this shadow empty

An appearance of mercy not getting through
could it have been wrong to stand her so high
Of this affliction unable to untangle
not being aware of reason to ponder


“He hath made every thing beautiful in his time: also he hath
set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the
work that God maketh from the beginning to the end.”
Ecclesiastes 3: 11 KJV


a poet who cares
