The journey of life
Lord, let us
put our ear to the ground
and listen,
hurried, worried footsteps,
bitterness, rebellion.
Hope
hasn't yet begun.
Listen again.
Put out feelers.
You are there.
You are less likely
to abandon us
in hardship
than in times of ease.
Dom Helder Camara, Brazil. Prayers Encircling the World
Lord may I ever speak...
Lord
may I ever speak
as though it were the last word that I can speak.
May I ever act
as though it were the last action that I can perform.
May I ever suffer
as though it were the last pain that I can offer.
May I ever pray
as though it were for me on earth
the last chance to speak to you.
