Prayer flies heaven-circling like hawk swirling on a thermal wave
Prayer settles cross-laden dreams deep in the heart and soul
Prayer floats water-spoken currents of faith in the Creator
Prayer praises ocean-breached majesty of desert deliverance
Prayer drowns tear-culled pain finding hope in the smile of a child
Prayer creeps into intellect-hid recesses of past and present
Prayer reverberates across the galaxy as a bell-voiced plea for the miraculous
Prayer feeds bread-starved stomachs of the tent-dwellers of tomorrow
Prayer silently offers dust-tongued intercession for desperate tragedy
Prayer heals calamity-scarred lives dying to leap from cliffs of loss

Today’s poem is a list poem suggested by the prompt at NaPoWriMo.net. I have also included five hyphenated words (the italicized ones) coined by Dylan Thomas for the Poetics prompt at dVerse Poets Pub. I added some hyphenated words of my own.
