Prayer

Lord,

I give to You my flesh and blood.
In exchange, I ask only for my soul.

In the name of all that is holy,
I seek a greater holiness.

As my shadow merges with
the greater darkness of night,

and as my eyes are partially blinded
to a world that is revealed to them

by the self-same light, so do I owe
my existence to that which I cannot

fathom, so do I speak the prayer
of which I cannot comprehend.

This prayer which I speak now
is Your own testament to a love

that is the only law, the only blessing
that a prayer like this one can ask for

and express.
