Prayer Before Sunrise

 

 

Prayer before sunrise 

visualizing vivid pictures of perfect scriptures reflecting my times 

Drifting lyrics and holy spirits advancing through the limitless abyss 

I kiss my lover no sooner than she awakes 

break my rest with action 

A brisk shower 

close shave 

a glass of exciting orange juice 

madd exercise and deep breathing 

Listing  to myself in the calm down 

The green tea is boiling 

paper moon, sparkling stars, and strategic satellites 

Fighting is east of the muddy Nile 

Murder is west of the moving Mississippi River 

I pray for the day the demons are contained and subdued 

Blue cloth for your beauty 

Fluttering moth and flickering flame 

Give us rain, oh great majesty 

Give us rain 

I repeat it so many times it starts to echo 

A prayer before sunrise
