Prayer Suggested by Mary Oliver

Bob Hostetler

Lord of honeysuckle,
Lord of melons;
Lord of sweetness,
Lord of starfire,
Lord of wheatfield,
Lord of desert,
Lord of plenty,
Lord of want,
Lord of mystery,
Lord of me,
have mercy,
Lord, have mercy.

(Prayer suggested by Mary Oliver; the first two lines are phrases used in separate poems in her collection, Thirst).
