I sit tonight
As I write,
But in my soul
I kneel--
I bow down
and beg
For peace.
Is it a sign, Lord?
A sign that things are
Only skin deep.
Even the songs on the radio
Are wrong--
All pointing downward
Backward
And around.
Of course the valleys are there
To bring us to yet another mountain,
But all my mountains must be
Valleys in your eyes....
Are all your mountains valleys in mine?
Wonderfully put conversation. I enjoyed! Happy Potluck! Here's my entry: http://mysticmarleei.wordpress.com/2010/11/13/prayer-meditation-4am/
