A Prayer

A few lines from Loreena McKennitt’s lyrics inspired by Dante’s The Divine Comedy…so beautiful and touching to me. I think I will use this as a prayer for myself these days.

Though we share this humble path alone, how fragile is the heart.
Oh give these clay feet wings to fly, to touch the face of the stars.
Breathe life into this feeble heart, lift this mortal veil of fear.
Take these crumbled hopes, etched with tears.
And we'll rise above these earthly cares.
