A Kind Of Prayer

     Christ our Lord urged us to pray and the Holy Spirit came to fill our hearts and minds.

And what about the Magnolia
breaking open in the menagerie 
of the moment,
slipping on the pale-
pink gloves of light?

Rumpled petals spilling their fragrant, 
reckless songs 
into the cobalt vials of sky,
the finality of the dark-
trembling beneath.

Isn't this, also, a kind of prayer
in the folding-hands of evening, 
when old rain-clouds begin
 kneeling into the spring-bright green
and miles of every blossoming ascending?
