let us pray

It is the prayer of all winged things 

that you give us lift 

and make us lofty

Make us light 

so we can rise and soar 

in heavenly light 

to heavenly heights

Though I be winged 

in the likeness of your angels 

I am ground to Eden

Look down upon me 

and see me 

flap and flutter and buzz 

and blink my Morse Code thanks and gratitude

hear my prayers of thanksgiving 

from the depths of the sea 

where I am blessed with underwater flight
