a poem - a prayer

a prayer/a poem i wrote for a friend who came to mind tonite. i know many who are in places of struggle and doubt - i hope this proves timely.

your word confuses,
it rings of truth and paradox,
of calamity and confusion,
authority and ambiguity.

it is a test of faith in itself.
it begs the begging of the spirit
to guide and to reveal,
to make known and to hide,
to challenge or to affirm

make known your will,
allow us a story to base our faith,
or maybe a patient love letter to comfort.

marry us to you through your word
marry us to you through your spirit
marry us to you through your family.

rest my friend - rest all who are weary and heavy laden.
