Ten million prayers
hover and fly
begging attention
and so I try
to focus my thoughts
to talk with my Lord
but they bounce so fast
it seems I get bored
with each thought that enters
seeking my prayer
they clamor for notice
and then they are
gone in a flash
replaced by another
I reached out to grasp it
but then wonder whether
something more urgent
seeks prayerful release
I chase that thought too
but God whispers "Peace
be still from your frenzy
relax in my presence
time spent with me
that is prayer's essence.
