In the Solace of Prayer

a symphony of prayer
touches my mind
and in the peace
of whispered words
I soothe my heart

some are imprinted
without thought
as filigreed light
warms my soul,
they slip out
as an adoration
sung from the heart

in these moments
of reverence and love
where no pain can burn
or malice survive

I come as close to heaven
as I can bear to be

Lonnie, the 'Nam vet says "we should never fly close to the flame"'
Jayne-Chloe orchestrates her solace to prayer,
there is nothing but ashes
in my solitary meditation
to be this side of heaven,
bring me an angel.
bring me a song,
I'm loving you.

thanks U2 much love..
