FOR THIS WEEK'S Poetry Potluck #20, we are given the theme of Peace, Relaxation, and Spirituality. I think spirituality chose me!
CIRCLES
Standing within
a circle of prayer,
my spirit rises
in an ecstatic haze.
Float through holy words,
feel a splash
of sacred water
sizzle on my fiery brow.
Revive me
from my slumber.
At my feet,
a grey scaly fish,
with glazed eyes,
waits to be reborn.

Hi Jane-
I know you'll understand when I say, this sort of wrote itself! Thank you...
There is a sense of the sacred, other-worldly in this. Enchanting.
