poetic prayer
January 24, 2012
may my poetry only hurt
in the places that need healing,
as a gentle reminder
that i will be stronger
at the broken parts,
if i remain open
to the process.
may my words
suture the scars
of a little Sarahí.
may they mend
the hearts of those
i have injured.
may they bring me
to action and healing.
i pray…
that i use the sharpness of my pen
to stab at hatred.
that i use its soft felt tip
to write gently.
may i heal
through forgiveness
of Self.
may i be patient
with the wait…
