Sunlit PrayerDo you not know, Child,Sunlit Prayer
The rays of sun limn your face
Upraised, like a halo.
Eyes closed, silver traces your cheeks
Beloved, to fall like diamonds to the ground.
Your outstretched hands,
Fallen apart from prayer,
Catch the sparkling dust
Drifting down from Heaven
As the Angels weep.
