enlighten this dark whirlwind
of scatteredness that I am,
with your radiant wings,
shelter me with your truth
enlighten me to divest myself
of all worldly desire,
and engage in the spiritual act
of composing the written word,
to do the work and leave it unto you,
in the rich tradition
of Christ the roaring lion of truth and beauty
O Christ, write through me,
and let me care not for money,
fame, publication,
but only for what word you want me
to write next -
your will not mine
your words not mine
