The Rose Prayer

Touch me Untouchable
heal my form
Heal me Incurable
mend my Soul
Grant me Peace o Warrior
and Solace Troubled One
and from you o Rose
grant me a Thorn
Give me Rest o Sisyphus
and Water Mariner
Give me Hope Pandora
and Mercy Draco
Give me Rice o Ghandi
and Darkness my Sun
but I ask only one Thorn
of the Rose
One Thorn to bleed foor
and one Thorn to stand for
and one Thorn, and one Thorn to come home for
One Thorn to live for
and one Thorn I could die for
and one Thorn to walk by my gravestone
and one Thorn for the long Journey home
