The Ultimate Prayer

I penned it down
Let it be read every where
I adore thee
Please let me be taken-
To a place of safety.
Let me be among the first fruit;
Let me not be left out.
I don’t want to be a residue.
I want to escape the fire that is coming.
My only goal…
Help me save my soul.

It sounds you are envisioning

It sounds you are envisioning heaven , with the soul as connection for getting you there.
I like it for all its metaphorical qualities.

What the muse sends through you, takes on part of you, when translated to your voice.
nice poem

You sort me right

You nailed it! It seems you perceived me when the thought was descending through.

Thanks for the read and full understanding of the poem.
