pray
kyla Wherever they lay themselves,
That's where they lie:

Laughers and screamers,
Sleepers and dreamers,
Runners and chasers,
Maskers and facers,
Seekers and hiders,
Doers and biders;
Laughing or screaming,
Sleeping or dreaming,
Running or chasing,
Masking or facing,
Seeking or hiding,
Doing or biding...

Until they die.

raze i think the last time i did this, my words were for someone else. last night they were for me. for the first time in years, i thought i might not wake up in the morning.

it didn't come out as an "asking for more life" prayer. i didn't ask for anything. it was an expression of gratitude:

thank you heart
for beating for me.
thank you lungs
for breathing for me.
thank you life
for having me.
and thank you
to all those i love
for loving me.

A plane is a place where I'm prone to pray. Please let this impossible bird fly. Please let the people coughing and noisily blowing their noses be seated far away. Please let the skies be gentle and free of turbulence. Please let my heart land safely in the place it longs to be.
