The Star-Lit Ocean Sea Prayer

~Cory Morrel

I sing out to you Lord on a face a star. I count the number

of footsteps stumbled upon by the seashore. I empower

my prayer carried on the wings of the wind brightened

above the staff of your lights.

Like a rolling tempest tossed to the sea, your hands

stretched forth waves drawing the faithful to your glory.

You, God, divide the walls of universe with spirit of the firmament.

You have procured descendants of many saints and populated many messengers beyond the lands.

Lord, you have mapped the earth seeded with pottery,

and the tools of your workers shape the vessel with temples.

The Almighty Father echoes below the depths of the waters,

and the beasts of the earth draw to the choirs of the wilderness.

God is the captain is the mankind's shadows and hides

hidden works covered under his shadows, counting the numbers

of the man's wisdom chartered in the mists.

~Amen
