I strum my prayer in open d
I write to God with my drawings
Begging hands hanging from my neck
Shamrock blessing
Angels watching over me
Show me miracles happen everyday
Would it be okay
If I asked send one my way
Blessed spirit
I am humbled by this life
I am stronger in this light
Thank you for struggle
and things I can't control
I surrender

Superlost
On Onderdonk
Superhigh
In the unmade bed
The cat bit my hand again
This time it drew blood so I locked him out of the room as punishment
Till I heard the voice of God and it sounded like Patti Smith
Patti said "Let him in. Forgive him for what he cannot control"
Superlost
On onderdonk
Superhigh
Solar eclipse in the sky
I cried as it was happening I felt like I was the only one alone
I cried as it happened "God, I don't want to be alone!"
I cried out for Patti but she did not reply
So I held that cat in my lap till he fell asleep and then so did I
Superlost
Superlost
Superhigh
Eclipsing the sky

Baptism in the bathtub
Bring me back my light
Lavender and epsom salt
Make me shiny and bright
Love and kindness
Bath me in love and kindness
Bath me in love
Show me kindness
Kindness
Baptism in the bathtub
Restore my light
Lavender and epsom salt
Bring me back to bright

I'm my own mother and also my own child
I love myself just like a daughter
And my own father and son living inside me
One big family
Never really alone
I love this body like a home
I'm the birdsong in the faraway tree
I'm the rustling of the leaves
I'm the baby crying in their stroller
I'm the angry man shouting on the corner
I'm the peaceful cat sleeping next to me
I'm the laughter from the TV
I'm the cockroach inside of the kitchen sink
Universes live inside of me
Never really alone
For better or worse not alone
All one body
Happy home

bedtime blessing

Now I lay me down to sleep
I pray the lord my soul to keep
And I pray for my sister, brothers
Aunts and uncles, my mother
Stepfather and his children too
I pray for my niece and nephews
And for friends old and new
And the ones who are strangers to me
I pray for pigeons
I pray for rats
And I pray for sunshine and that this time it will last
Now I lay me down to sleep
I pray to the lord for happy dreams
And I pray for every creature living in this city
Show us mercy
Give us guidance
