Blessed Paul Fimonaya pray for us all; pray with your namesake Paul for my brother Paul, and for our recent Pope John Paul; pray with your father Michael and Archangel Michael for those words in Jesus prayer, "on Earth as it is in Heaven;" pray for understandings of persons for Gautama, Quan Yin, Lao Tzu, Jesus, Mohammad, Rumi, Joseph Smith and all who may walk in Heaven's bright Summerland meadows; pray for us all, All, All, All: pray with Angels at the Stream, gold Throne shining white as cream, life healing leaves still as in Yahweh's Dream... Amen Sophia, i was not thinking of haiku form until writing the end of the prayer; it does not fit -- too many syllables, or the waka -- perhaps it is just, "waiku" :-) there i added some "All's" to make like a tanka, Selah Yes, Yahweh, the 7 should be at the end, but then: "the last shall be first," some time: "Alleluia, Father Dear"
