For the World to See

His burdens lift and sorrows sift when he begins to pray.
His sorrows sift and burdens lift whenever he bends to pray.
He is forgiven for giving weight to what they might say...
and has Faith as something solid, a ledge
on the cliffside of his life, keeping him safe...
and Hope strong like the hands of God that keep demons at bay;
he is being molded, shaped by fires that show gold by burning clay,
and he wonders at being able to see so clearly
on such a rainy day.
