“Praying

It doesn’t have to be
the blue iris, it could be
weeds in a vacant lot, or a few
small stones; just

a contest but the doorway

into thanks, and a silence in which
another voice may speak.”
― Mary Oliver, Thirst

be still
and
wait
so the darkness
shall be the
light
and the stillness
the
dancing.”
