Crawl Space for Prayer
by Quinn VokesMoonlight bounces off the Shadows
and corners of the tiny crawl space
for prayer
Hold your rosaries high,
you band of Angels three
No artificial light to be had
and the man is going blind from faith
Again
The world is lost and needs a guide
the Bibles truth has lost its footing
All kidding aside the child kneels
and cries at the cords of Sheol surrounding
him
Bow your head in silent prayer,
to whatever God you wish just tell him I sent you there
The Rabbi is motionless in the corner
with the moonlight, and rebukes the demons that
dare enter
Stand up tall and do not hide,
you Soldiers for the Lord
Three stories of sadness, different though they seem,
all come here to the crawl space for prayer to save
(Maybe more than just themselves this time)
Hold your rosaries high,
You band of Angels three
Arm in arm with the daybreak leaking onto their
ashen faces, they emerge anew and alone no more
For we are not children of the darkness but of the Light,
and in the Light we shall truly be free.

Author's Note: *Came to me as I was trying to sleep, after praying long and hard for a close friend of mine. The conclusion? One cannot march alone in the invisible battle. They need friends to help them adjust their armor from time to time.

God one. That's right. With our Lord at our side and friends too. We have already got ourselves armed very well for a battle and you can't have to many friends. |
