The faith-ending proof
Not a plea nor petition, but praise
is the proper approach to prayer,
arranged so as not to contain
a single reference to I, me, my or mine,
described by my Lord as the fixed die
at the core of all heartache,
the primordial illusion that begets all others.
When we praise God how much of it
is yet pretend and hope, born of fear?
Each of our words driving another wedge
into the fragile boundary between heaven and earth.
How might we breach it instead?
Open the flood gates of His holy Spirit to drown again
our souls in Him as they were before the beginning?
O child of God, praise Him in imperfect faith
until your Father provides the faith-ending proof.
