Prayer for broken hearts
I pray
I pray fire
furnace roar from your centre
circling cells, sparking breath, spirit
rising
I pray honey
warm milk sober flow
as gauze, to shield and sooth
your wound
I pray kitchen tonic
sweet ferment, anise spice
molasses bitter—the nourish
and gather
I pray leaf and flower
brewed to healing power
I pray squirrel play
great leap, and hover—
catch and clamber
chase and chatter
I pray snowdrop
nestled in cold darkness, knowing spring
always follows winter
I pray river
ancient friend steering you to salty depths
and home
I pray sun gaze deep breath full surrender
I pray blue sky long view
sleep’s cover
I pray love of a mother
I pray
For my mum, and Susie, both who are nursing broken hearts.
