Tonight's poem is a "tanka", a poetic form consisting of a haiku (5-7-5) with an additional two lines (7-7). The haiku portion ends with a noun or a verb, and the final two lines represent some form of turn in perspective. It's probably my favorite poetic form.
Prayer
These words are what I
have, and tears. All I can do
is ask You to hear.
You have the power to weave
prayers into time’s tough fabric.
