“Prayer” by Rozann Kraus
at the foot of the hill
I am the tree
from the fold of the branch
I am the leaf
from the twine of the leaves
I am the nest
from the warmth of the nest
I am the egg
from the crack of the egg
I am the bird
from the wings of the bird
I am the sky
from the wild of the sky
I am all breath
deeply inhaling
I birth all that is
all that was
all that is to come
I am the hope
that this
is the right prayer
