Inhumanity reigns
Everyone, each and all
Climbing and scraping
Shouting and reacting!
These words are tried,
And they're never enough.
Those actions, too
Recycled through and through.
Desire simplicity,
A most intimate space.
Speaking candidly
To a higher face.
Not as a slave and
In absence of fear.
Without shame and
Devoid of guilt.
Filled with innocence
And complete with trust.
It is always a surprise,
Just how familiar it is.
This is prayer,
A conversation with God,
A contemplation.
Come close to the Holy Spirit.
