WINGS OF THE SPIRIT

by Catherine Lawton

~

I spun my prayer of

yearning, sighs,

and gossamer hopes;

And hung it by a promise

on the strongest branch

I could find.

I gave myself to my prayer—

rains, doubts, cold

assailed.

The darkness alone seemed real,

but I hid

within my prayer.

Just when I felt lost or forgotten,

it was time;

faith broke through,

the light dazzled...

I had wings!
