That one prayer

That one prayer,

shaming the universe,

makes the sun stand

to attention.

That one prayer,

lighting a dark corner,

makes the world change

for the voiceless.

That one prayer,

in a deep silence,

echoes in eternity

finding the creator.

That one prayer,

small and lonely

in our conversation of life,

is heard.

That one prayer,

that one pray-er,

that one.
