Divine Retribution

Fränz Müller

Prayer

is all I have left

when the last leaden layers

of that old forsaken life

get forcibly scraped off,

thrown away,

and the newness of being,

put on like fresh raiment,

clean linen

brings thoughts, pure

like a newborn babe.

    A beautiful, reflective poem. Spiritual transformation with quiet grace.

    This reads almost scriptural. It is an announcement of cleansing. Well written and a fave

    Fränz, what a beautiful piece. I love how it moves from the stripping away of the old life to the quiet hope of becoming something new. The final image of thoughts as pure as a newborn leaves the poem resting in grace. Wonderful write, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛
