Prayer for understanding

Teach me now to leave a moment
and take it into prayer
to move in chaos with a candle flame
and hold myself and others without despair,
to move through storms and turbulence
smiling,
when every word and private motion
is another bead
set in this exquisite contradiction?

Hey,

I don't know how this will appear, but I'm hoping it's something I can' use to talk to you before you post a comment. I realize it can be a bit of a turn off to have your comments submitted for moderation and not posted immediately. I post every comment I get, I just want to know that I've gotten one. So I'm not as controlling as it may seem. So tell me what you think! Thank you.
