PRAYER FOR LU ANN

Old Sin

warm my heart in my tribulation.

Are ghosts that appear at my window

signs of what is to come?

Our husbands who are ill

fight everyday in the throws of your Light

reflecting

and mirroring the sunlight Heaven bound

to where I have sent all my prayers.

This mansion cottage is lost

from the heights of where God resides

and I am

frozen in time looking for a better day.

Whatever sweat equities were given

my husband and I

made the best of our lives

looking forward to old age together.

Now I pray

through a perfect stranger

because

his attachments are to your Cloth

a crusader, born in the Spirit.

Knocking

at my door he walked into my life

and I told him of my strife.

His words

are beyond the science of man

confessing

upon me his own Sin

I chose him

to deliver this message to you Lord.

This is my poem to you God

written

through the chamber of another Soul

engaged by my tribulation

wanting

to further the time for whom I love.

In these possibilities I reach out

Knowing

that in the summation of my life

I have sinned

and asked for forgiveness and to walk

in the midst and Spirit of Jesus.

I have learned from loving you

that in your greatness

you will cast healing rivers

from those

who hear the echoes of prayers.

In this poem

I want to rekindle my Faith

for I know now

that no material existence can save

what once

my money gathered before.

Slowly we enter your Kingdom

acknowledging

that you are the Sovereign Lord

and to my husband 

I will read these following words.

(Commencing Prayer)

Father take into your hands my tribulation

and my tears

for they have weighed heavy on earth, and

as the rivers swell

I know that time is righteously given.

Your heart

has mended my pain and suffering

but the future I am uncertain of.

Shall I wail

for the sick husband or rejoice

that I

will join him in the comfort of your liar

unrepressed by judgment, and

unconditionally tolerant

of the Sins we have shared.

I pray

for my husband and I pray for myself

as the entwining and unifying rivers

will never part

our loving Souls by their increasing wake.

I remain in my Belief

and cast all doubt of your divine existence

for the tools of man

enlighten nothing or no one 

and are just a chariot ride of the mind.

You- are the True God

and there shall be no way to the Father

than through you.

I ask of you God

that my husband recovers from his illness

for the cumbersome journey of life

shall be shallow

without him by my side.

The torturous night

and days will never leave my mind

and only through the solace and comfort

will your Light enter our window.

Father, I love you

no matter how the dice are rolled in this casino

I will always bet

that the praise and Love of God is supreme.

The World we live in

is material, as you have taught us

and I

also became a material vessel.

By the trinkets and possessions I own

I thought

I could have fulfillment by them all.

The true account of my life

is measured

by those I love and love me.

God, my Father

I ask you to receive my prayer

And keep

my household under your watch.

There is so much I am not prepared for

but  perhaps

in your ears you will hear my fears.

I am grateful to the Scribe

who in your blessings has come to my side.

Lu Ann …
