A Prayer

-------A Prayer-------

I walk

bare

foot

Because

I believe a

prayer

Need

not

look

Any one

specific

way.

-------

In a Name

-------In a Name-------

Digger

is a name

I was called as

a child

As

if

they already

knew

That someday

I would re-member,

with my hands

or with a spade,

The truths

my ancestors

have planted

inside me.

-------

Echoes

-------Echoes-------

Tears transform

my sadness

into

golden light

Slowly

Like Autumn becoming

from the echoes

of a summer

rain.

-------

Rest

-------Rest-------

Do not mistake 

stillness

for being lazy.

For in a world

that is working 

its people to death,

Rest, 

Dear Heart,

defies the exploitation

And restores us

on our path

to get free.
