Praying––Penny Hackert Evans
Praying
Penny Hackert Evans
Today I found
a round green prayer
hanging under the serrated leaf
of a tomato plant.
Then the purple clematis
shouted “Amen”
as they closed up
for the season.
The scent of lemon in iced tea
had a saintly sort of feel.
And surely the ribboned garter snake
prayed quickly as he escaped
my watering hose.
The setting orange sun
is praying for the rising moon.
And me? I’m just sitting here
in my backyard sanctuary,
wondering if I should
get down on my knees.
