a trying prayer
and maybe for a Friday before Saturday or any day before another day or for the day

God
I am so through and through
as
if my nuclei
are crying for more
rest
in a way that is child-
insistent

and it is frustrating that there’s nothing to
rest into
for the body and closed eyes for
a while

so let me sleep and awake again
with
more to look forward to
that affects the how

then
there’s what we might work for or have
provided

from I think
a net of sharing
as
the better way we are connected

with respect
by
listening and encouraging
what
is needed by way of what’s missing

and so arranging
on and for
the Earth
as
well as anywhere we go

so
God provides and so
we have
the model for each other
please
amen
