Staying Power #144: "Prayer"
A short poem in honor of our upcoming Deep Dive
This is a very brief poem that I wrote in anticipation of “Poems, Prayers, & Promises,” our upcoming month-long Deep Dive. (You can still sign up!)
What image might you use to describe your own experience of prayer, meditation, contemplation, centering . . . ? Would you like to turn that image into a poem or another creative work?
PRAYER
Phyllis Cole-Dai
is where
light from an open window
meets the trembling
of a piano string
still vibrating
from the sounding
The Gentle Nudge
