May this dress remind you to pay attention . . .

PRAYING by Mary Oliver 

It doesn't have to be

the blue iris, it could be

weeds in a vacant lot, or a few

small stones; just

pay attention, then patch

a few words together and don’t try

to make them elaborate, this isn't

a contest but the doorway

into thanks, and a silence in which

another voice may speak.

~from Mary Oliver's collection of poetry, "Thirst" (Beacon Press, 2006).
