Night prayer

I offered life my prayers ,Ave Mariasstrung from sleepto send me a loveI’d want to keep,close to me .The shaft was imprecise,but it burnt the skymoved satellitesa coloured ray ofblasting light ,was all I hungered for .I asked that he be kind ,respect my waysheal darker daysbrush frosted fearsthat ice that clings to powdered tears,sharp breath of star-kissed night .Then I settled back to wait ,it wasn’t foremost on my mindmy time was filleddusting cobwebs, filing thoughts ,renovating long-held hopes ;until you caught my eye ,and showed me I’d been blind .
