My Prayer( rewrite)

         Open my soul completely to your will     I feel myself floating upon your grace     eyes closed my lungs completely fill     expanding me beyond what I can face     To exercise my spirit I hang from     my doubt and faith leaping to your embrace     realigned me back, and crack, my chin some     to look attentive upon every trace     that has been sketched into our legacy     that's written in the movements of all things     painted in our hearts of your embassy     that echoes in the music as it sings       Praise in the notes rising up from our lips       For all of those things we need eclipse

James, this is a well thought out, well written piece. The play between petitioner, deity, and creation flow very well. I never got the feeling that it was short sighted or overly pious, rather a heartfelt thought process that allowed for the image desired, with the proper level of reverence. A very well written piece.

Better rhyme this time.... Still stirs me inside. The rhyme of legacy and embassy is forced (as someone else pointed out)... That aside, continues to repeat in my mind. I like your prayer. TicaBelle
