Because You Wanted Me to Pray

Universe,

I know you can hear me

I can feel you pulling on all the stardust in me

I come you, to bury myself in your sand and fold myself in your current

I bring you all my loneliness, heartbreak, and stress

But also all my Love, Hope and Compassion

In exchange for Peace & Patience; Serenity

I came today to baptize myself on your shores

I came today to surrender all these things that have been weighing me down

I bring you all my loneliness, heartbreak, and stress

But also all my Love, Hope and Compassion

In exchange for Peace & Patience; Serenity

The water is so cold it steals the breath from chest

The current sweeps me off my feet and I am weightless

The Universe answers by carrying and caressing me

The current pushes me back to the shore

The salt exfoliates and sheds my old skin

The sun warms me

The wind dries me

I have peace knowing the Universe has heard me
