Will you pray with me?
By Reid Baer

I, even from a mystic part,
acting as poet, reason with
you my friend from the start even

as I do with Him who is the
Alpha and Omega from the
foundation of my very own

conversion to the mystery
of Godliness beginning the
thought process of my faith like a

vision and commitment to the
ineffable heart where it is
a Just and Holy place for a

person to pitch a tent and gird
up his loins and wrestle strenuously
with myriads of demons hailing

in the East turning sun-wise to
the South, then the West, and finally
blessed in the North I beseech thee

dear Lord to abate thine anger
for a brief season that I might
clean my white garments from this ripe

and polluted generation
of souls who know no sense of the
Perfect Man! I pray, renew and succor

my weakness another day through
another place where Spirit fills
the heavenly congregation

of covenant children who have
been faithful and returned back home
to the center of purity

surrounding the source we find in Thee.
Now in this mortality – hope -
is for Approbation Divine.
