A prayer
hidden and silent
Stones
submerged by winter’s blanket
Covered and
cold beneath the grip of frost
Waiting for
spring, for summer
If they could
but speak of the wishes, the hopes,
Desires and
fears uttered here
Frozen in the
gossamer of time
Waiting for
God’s answer
Wishes
written on the footfalls and on the breezes
Of another
moment, another season
Hearts open
in the stillness of the walking
The mix of
stones and soil, moss and grass under foot
Reverent
periods of reflection
Between man
and God
Cries heard
in the silence beyond the field
Through the
frozen prayers
Planted in
this ground.

A Frozen Prayer
Written about the prayer labyrinth behind Bow Mills United Methodist Church,
covered by two storms of snow. Not all of the stones are covered; but there are
no footprints, only a set of snowshoes tracks around the field in which the
labyrinth lies when I checked this morning.
