prayers for miracles

prayers for miracles

the invisible thoughts are formed and sent to infinity
inarticulate sentences made of fragments of words
for every loss which is mourned the missing identity
hopes and wishes prayed only to fly away like birds
the needed and the unneeded mixed in a subtle swirl
another chance another gift deserved or undeserved
as a great god conceded clutch at diamond and pearl
creating a special rift for those who would be served
the prayers are all answered miracles shine complete
all peace and harmony reigning on this perfect earth
marriage of musician to dancer of rhythm to the beat
are the gods only feigning a humanity blinded at birth
chinks in the armor show a light seeps through cracks
measure what we cannot know then add what we lack
