In the late night plea
There is a moment
Of wrestling with the divine
When the deep sigh
And the heaving chest are prayer
And I breathe it in………

In this wrinkle of heavenly time
A devoted companion appears
Full of drama and delight
Approaching my heart
On a wing and warning
Entering the space
Set aside from the very beginning
To carry the soul forward
Immersed in those things hidden and dark
This emissary removes the cloud cover
Revealing that the truth is somewhere within
And in the space of obedience and revelation
There is access and discovery
That will reveal to me my true estate
And gracefully welcome me into a state of intimacy
Where prayer and I are one

And so
I breathe it out………
