Almost
A Prayer
There’s no power
or strength beyond love.
Love is not cast
in a mold.
Instead, nature,
as artist, arranges
each individual’s
fancy,
ordered to bring
some charm to the
narrative.
Within the decrees
of friends,
there stands a
high level of
profound
admiration, in corrective balance
with a countenance
that shines.
And if we believe
in the power of such,
the way is clear
to express a wide smile,
and to answer
earnest requests
for the world-wide
opening of dialogues,
sought as almost a
prayer.
