I Just Knew It

I knew that one day I’d have an image that evoked the memory of this favorite poem. I just knew it, and today’s the day.

Praying

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

a few words together and don’t try
to make them elaborate, this isn’t
a contest but the doorway

into thanks, and a silence in which
another voice may speak.

Thanks for posting this poem today. It sheds light on my own concern with trying to say the perfect prayer. The blue iris may be spectacular but this fir tree is equally lovely, and even glows. Fav
