I love your ever-changing and evolving style! Another great and deep poem presented in a one-of-a-kind display! That's all you can really do is count your blessings and pray for everything to be okay.

Hey, me again. Now that I had a few drinks (and a couple of totes), I'm performing other opinions:and now I'm thinking this could be a work of possibility. Suppose I'm (as viewer/participant), I'm only suppose to read 1st 2 lines...hummn? And the poem keeps going around, repeating in a closed circuit, and as the stanzas flash, I can only read the the title (alway repeated) and 1st 2 lines--and I'm thinking, am I now participating in a 2 dimensionl surface/universe?
So! A poem in two dimensions of time performed in the present! Now the question is how to read and what to experience, and here, I'm going to presume that the outer speak can only make me aware of it's inner direction. Now, let's make that idea simple:
If the purpose of this piece is never to read the rest of the stanza, then--considering that the title "Prayer" is announced before each 2 liner (and that alliteration really works!)--I get this feeling there are 2 identical poems going on simultaneously.
Now this might seem a little hard to articualte, but let's look at it this way: The title, as it announces each new stanza is a poem in itself: Prayer...da dah, Prayer..da dah (right tru the 4 stanzas).
Now, since there are lines within each stanza, are they not to be read, or does the lack of time in order to read them, inform me of the artist's (that's you) intention? Oh, what might that be?
Here, I can only conjecture with myself, that said lines are not unimportant, but while seeming to be different from eachother, they are all the same thing, and it is only us who choose the parteners we would like to dance with.
And now that I'm thoroughly lost (hey, where's the 3rd dimension?). Prayer might not be for me my best venue, but I like to be woken up, and participate in some of these dimensions. But if I'm not back in 3 days, you might want to send out a search party.

Hi, thanks for auto-topsy. This piece here seems real interesting--but don't know if you want me to read poem or just do telepaty. I read the 1st 2 lines, and then it flashes into next stanza. Of course it repeats every cycle, but I'm not here to do a speed reading course. Now, can you read this fast, or do you (as I might suspect) to have something else in mind?

Don't let fear find you
it's something I learned after a really bad depression. Your words express your feelings so well and bring back vivid memories for me. Barbara Brannon wrote: " If fear cannot find you then you cannot be depressed or anxious. Ask youself if you are afraid at this very momemt in time and if you are not afraid then you are in a moment of love. Love and fear cannot exist within the same moment." The past is over and cannot be changed and the future is yet to be. I had to go second to second for a time and then minute to minute and finally I mainly get to stay in moments of love and this helps to create my future to be loving and positive. The Law of Attraction. Like attracts like. May you be surrounded by the Light of Love, Peace, Harmony and Happiness. Many Blessings this year.

Keep Praying
I pray you win out in your struggle. I know, from experience, that the battle against depression never ends, but it can become bearable. May you reach that point quickly, and learn to maintain it. (And may I also.)
