Prayers
For
People
There are so many people that deserve prayer – friends, workers, heroines, heroes and more. In a world where human negativity is too often highlighted, it is great to know that most people are not only good, but deserve thanks for being who they are, and what they do.
Tennis Prayer
With the certainty
of the sunrise
may the ball rise
above me
waiting to be placed
May the flight
of the sphere
with its cosmic grace
be a perfect trajectory
defying
space and time
So, as I turn
agile and angled
I let fly
My heart sings
as the sphere soars
higher and higher
only to come down
to an invitation
to sweep wide
an earthly motion
skimming
controlled power
like a stone on water
May my racquet be my friend
may the ball travel wherever I wish
may the net serve as a gentle reminder
may I have confidence in myself
may I respect my opponent
May this game bring joy
to me
to those I love
in this…
our interstellar world
