i pray
but not to a god
not something with sovereignty power over me
but to the universe
being everything and anything all at once
a tree, its very leaves, and the roots growing beneath it.
the sky, its clouds, and the raindrops that fall.
the wind and its whispers
fires and its sparks
the sun and the moon and the stars
so yes i pray,
but i pray to me.
