In whispered breaths and silent nights,  
We lift our hearts to distant skies,  
Where hope and solace intertwine,  
In the quiet, faith aligns.

We pray for peace in fractured lands,  
For healing where the sorrow stands,  
For strength in hearts that feel alone,  
And courage where the seeds are sown.

We pray for wisdom's gentle light,  
To guide us through the darkest night,  
For compassion’s tender touch,  
To mend the wounds, to heal so much.

We pray for dreams that rise above,  
For every soul to find its love,  
For understanding's gentle grace,  
To bridge the chasms we embrace.

In every prayer, a silent plea,  
For unity and harmony,  
As hands unite and spirits blend,  
We pray for hope that will not end.

So in each moment, small or grand,  
We seek the strength to understand,  
In prayer, we find a common ground,  
A way to lift, a way to bound.

We pray for dawns that bring new light,  
For futures bright and free from blight,  
And in our hopes, so soft, we say,  
Together, we find a way.
when I think about you
I hold you close and place you
around my neck like a necklace.
somewhere where I know that you're safe.
somewhere that I don't have to question.
your lips a pendant to the charms
that bang against my chest if I were to run.
the chain of your arms looped around my neck.
not to bind, or to keep stagnant.
to take in the sights, to breathe as one,
just as the planets that clasp together,
dangling from the universe's neck.
and
how the stars gleam and radiate.
bouncing and filling the empty gaps of space.
astronauts know this for a fact.
nestled in the comfort of their ships, sailing the sky.
clutching their keepsakes.
thinking about the love they've left back home.
although I am far from an astronaut.
you guide me through some of my darkest times.
when I think about you
I hold you close and place you
around my neck like a necklace.
if ever I am lost, you center me

I close my eyes
Find myself alone with thought
What is thought?
What is what?
What is?
In the moment of silence
We experienced everything
A second for one
A lifetime for another
Moving between hot and cold
The cold darkness of nothing
The burning embers of creation
Bubbles pop in and out of existence
The abyss sits waiting for us to come home
The cold and heat disappear as equilibrium sets in
Entropy takes over and we become one

Last night I had a dream
I dreamt that I set sail on an ocean that I couldn't tell where the sky began and it ended.
Everything was so dark; The sound of the water crashing against the hull.
Beading against the deck
I knew I was  no longer was in the same dream
Searching for the same light that lulled me to sleep
Soft shadows against the wall
Eyes now closed searching for that same light
Then it happened
I saw a light come out of seemingly nowhere
Spread wide growing narrow the closer I got
She was my light in the dark
