  • Prayer for an Angry Soul

    Prayer for an Angry Soul

    Angry soul
    may your poison be released,
    Let go,
    May peace wash over and soothe the aching,
    May the burning anguish in your core
    Be made cool,
    May pains in your heart be calmed
    Immerse your being in the safe still waters of peace,
    “Comfort me!” you cry,
    To open loving spirit
    May your anger subside.

  • Pews

    Pews

    Hard wood,
    A stern reminder of penance,
    But a view of trees,
    Blowing,
    Serenaded by breeze
    Framed above my head,
    As patients pass,
    Bowed head,
    Convent for confusion,
    A sacred space to heal
    The mind, spirit, and
    Soul to first,
    Or once again find,
    Here on this pew,
    I see their dance
    And chants,
    A longing for belonging,
    A need to find self and security,
    And I am here,
    Upon my pew,
    Watching, waiting
    A patient,
    Listening, loving ear
    To not just observe,
    but to genuinely hear.
