Based upon Augustine Ichiro Okumura – a Haiku poem

I wrote this Haiku poem after an arid session of Contemplative Prayer.

 


 

I can’t pray today

I just don’t have it in me

But I wish I could

 

Pray in me, O God

Your Holy Spirit within

Intercede for me

 

I’ll sit quietly

I’ll try to not walk away

And trust you to work

 

It’s not my doing

Success or failure in prayer

You are the do-er
