The Cadence of His Prayer

repeated more than once
marking time, in threes
that thy will, oh God
not my own but your will
would be done in that moment

Christ in the garden praying
knowing his betrayer soon at hand
going alone into the garden
to speak with God again

Each time asking,
if the cup could pass by his lips
yet each time also
praying that thy will be done
