A prayer

by Scott Cadence

God I know,
I know…
I am in and of this vessel
and I see my father in me
as well as my mother –
There is no denying history
or the facts –
But beyond the surface I am more alive inside than anyone can physically make me feel,
my soul aches for you
In everything that is good in me
I need old things to fold and new doors to open
clarity where there has been only smoke and broken mirrors
let the path present itself and pray I see the right choice through
I have only hope and faith left in me
And you are welcome here
in all that I do

Author's Note: just thought I'd share this - since it seemed closer to the truth than most of my works right now... :)

Insightful, wise, and extremely well written. If we all could have such vision, the world would be a better place!
