Today, After Praying
By
jennifer angelina petro
Something changed.
A mountain got up
and danced away,
water broke from stone,
darkness fled my mind, like
so many angry crows,
a door opened,
a lost sheep was lifted
onto great shoulders
and carried home,
a way became clear,
a woman, clothed with the sun,
kissed my forehead,
light flooded my room,
windows opened
to bird song and blue sky,
feet were washed,
bread was placed
into tired hands,
answers dawned,
questions fell away, like
so many pieces of armor,
doubts were dispelled, like
melting snow.
Something changed.
In the twinkling of an eye,
In the speaking of his name,
Heaven bowed
And welcomed me home.

Expressed wonderfully!
