prayer flag


beneficent vibrations on nature’s breath
sidles across countryside, the hour of sun.
vivid color dries on winter’s shoulder
where prayer approaches their tongue.

their words filter out, warm, into cold air
and continues to smolder
where prayer approaches their tongue,
vivid color dries on winter’s shoulder.

their invocations aren’t bottled
inside mother nature’s deflated lung.
vivid color dries on winter’s shoulder
where prayer approaches their tongue.

a smooth picture captures the essence;
a brief moment, of something bolder.
where prayer approaches their tongue
vivid color dries on winter’s shoulder.
