Prayer, you say?

Is that the Magnificat or a Hail Mary?
Is that a shout or a whisper?
Is that a chorus or a lone voice?
Is that liturgy
or are you dancing to free jazz?

Today, it will have to be jazz.

Prayer, you say?

Is that a hail Mary or the Magnificat?
Is that a whisper or something louder?
Is that a lone voice or a chorus?
Is that free jazz
or are you leaning on liturgy?

Today, I need liturgy.
Sometimes you need to go with the jazz. Sometimes to pray is to improvise.
