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.
