Prayer

By Kate Noble

Pray to an ever-nigh somewhat, yet know thing

With a fool’s knowledge spawned in unearthing voids

For with that impulse sparks soft crackle-charge

and wire-core thrum of expectant waiting

Be swept ‘long invisible force-bent current

Vibrating resonant assembly with all

Content with strip-desire wishing’s reward

Of claiming germ-truth whilst seeking nothing 

Find raucous praise chorus in arc’d silent grace

Whispered by still soft voice ne’er noted, yet full heard

Elusive, despite full hearts devotion

Certain with charge-filled mystic clarity 

Boldly release grand schemes not just ours to lay

Griefs shouldered floating ne’er indivisible

As sole wave in cosmic ocean swell sought 

Melts all in current-float liberation

Serve as vessel for succour-fill bitter-sweet  

feeding all with forgiveness’ burning hunger

Forsake humble words, absolve descriptions

For where pulse-source reigns, love shimmers sovereign
