O Beloved One, Hear our Prayers

by Naomi

O sweet love
companion of every heart
heart of our heart
sweet breath of spirit
silent beauty of every soul
whispering wave of creation
blossoming mystery
a remembering laughter
bubbling up in the scent
and softness
like a child in your arms
hear our prayers

O sweet love
sudden beauty bursting forth
as a new way of seeing
from a deeper place
hear our prayers

O wondrous and following star
candle of the night
lighting the way through life
a visiting wisdom of creation
ever fashioning
new seasons of love
manifesting and mixing colors
forms and faces
changing and rearranging
flashing into
a divine moment beyond time
falling into
the lightness of dancing curls
of children
dancing light on dancing waves
dancing words
prancing across a page
hear our prayers

O sweet love
our playmate and our friend
transforming every sorrow
into a new tomorrow
wings spreading in flight
sweeping plains and open skies
herald of expanding light
of morning
where we feel the breath
of love’s tender sighs
hear our prayers

O sweet love
you set us free
from the boundaries we build
around our small selves
you welcome us
into your great embrace
the protecting aura
of your grace
hear our prayers

O sweet love
rhythmic pulsing of our lives
wondrous rushing wind
caressing breeze
beloved one
you are our rising sun
our sweet release
into the glory
of love’s returning peace
hear our prayers


Naomi
