37 |   "Prayer is mainly feeling"     [pantoum]


Small defeats are needful
large delights are strange
devotees are heedful
situations change
large delights are strange
problems loom like storms
situations change
sirens sound alarms

problems loom like storms
clearing brings relief
sirens sound alarms
sagas can't be brief
clearing brings relief
prayer is mainly feeling
sagas can't be brief
language is revealing

prayer is mainly feeling
love involves acceptance
language is revealing
everything needs patience
love involves acceptance
summer's fruit is seedful
everything needs patience
small defeats are needful
