INTO SOMETHING

               Early morning, stack of books before me and journal at my side—should words and inspiration show—mind refused settle.

               Nothing focused.  Nothing fixed, held in draw of my attention, and so I prayed.

               Lights off, candle lit, morning still in darkness, from beginning Cross through bead by bead—I prayed.

               What were my intentions?  For what did I pray?  I reflected in questions before each decade.  Finding answers, I prayed in their devotion.

               Since, the sun is up.  Day’s awake.  The stack of books remain, and my focus still falters; restless as it sometimes is.

               Still, in prayer, I focused for a time and poured of soul into something.
