bowing in prayer
my burdens heavy
feeling them upon me
yet focused, grounded;
feeling God with me,
worrying the beads,
in silence, calming my spirit.
worrying the beads
feeling their weight,
the pressure upon me
their texture, each bead,
these beads, in prayer;
part of God present, His Spirit,
nestled in my hands.
