The sky can be large here,
it can reach your soul - if it has not been abandoned.
It has shaped mine into a prayer - it is easy to pray here,
not to a god of redemption or damnation
but to a god who plays in the clouds,
is articulate in the embrace and release of the wind,
and walk on the waves right onto the deck of my house
and from there into each room
in me.
