An evocative prayer poem, inspired by nature, by Dr. Molly, exclusively for Different Truths.

The gentle 
           wind 
moves,  
           trees 
sway, 
           leaves 
fall... 
moments 
           O, Lord!
in the 
           hour of 
our allotted
           time...
the
           borrowed
time 
           in our 
book of 
           life…
help us
           redeem 
them from
           extinction
as acts 
           of kindness
of love
           falling 
like the 
           leaves
without 
           the tree
knowing... 
           unheeded
by the wind 
           that 
passes by...
