Leunig

I felt in need of a little inspiration today, so I turned to one of my favourite Australian poets, Michael Leunig, and some of his lovely prayers.


God bless this little boat
And me who travels in it.
It stays afloat for years and years
And sinks within a minute.

And so the soul in which we sail,
Unknown by years of thinking,
Is deeply felt and understood
The minute that its sinking.


Let it go. Let it out.
Let it all unravel.
Let it free and it can be
A path on which to travel.


God help us
If our world should grow dark,
And there is no way of seeing or knowing
Grant us courage and trust
To touch and be touched
To find our way onwards
By feeling
Amen.


Love is born
With a dark and troubled face,
When hope is dead
And in the most unlikely place;
Love is born,
Love is always born.


Always lovely :)
