A Prayer

Give me a beach,
clean and white ,
a space with an immense light.
Let the sea recede
back to the reach of the sky.
Let the light fall evenly
at tht odd and the even
spaces of the mind
and then let me turn
and find again
the doors once locked and the key misplaced.
Let those doors crumble and fall
and show me the inside
damp and dark.
Let the cry of the gull pierce the sky,
and the afternoon feel its pain,
the pain of the birds who left the nest,
forced to live in the ruthless sky.
