praying

we came to praise
so our voices, herded together
could plead your reality down

to walk here among us
in justice and wisdom
we're somehow not able
to conjure up for ourselves

all the sadness banished
the yearning quenched
your light to wander among us
in sudden new landscapes
of joy and acceptance
and unending wonders
that our eyes, cured of darkness
would now be able to see

What I'm I doing wrong? I keep losing my comment.

I guess I was going in on the wrong "as:"

You may get this twice.
This poem made me rather sad. I think it's because I'm afraid I won't be here to see this happen.
