Your Words Virginia Salter your words pull on me like so much gravity trickling the life from me as if my spirit is falling away in a slow moving waterfall drop by drop a gentle cascade that I somehow cannot stop though there is not speed in the dripping I have not the power nor the knowledge to stop it to retain some remnant of me Prayer Prayer that’s what I need to shield me to carry me away from you clutches your influence your reckless desire to undo me to leave me to the vultures the buzzards that lay in wait for the carrion of my soul Prayer that’s the only hope the only realm where I might find solace safety renewal...

To fear, to love ,to surrender. It's tough to say no to love. Sometimes we need a prayer. Well done! A quarter of a century must pass, for the writer to understand what and why he writes. |
