Reading haiku, drinking tea

I am unhappy

Longing for the Nameless.

All this time alone

I pray and pray

Beseeching the Nameless.

Death, thy graveyards are not full

And I do not wish to fall to the virus.

And so, I pray to the Nameless.

I pick up the phone.

“Sending prayers for everyone.”

I am now singing songs to the Nameless.

I pray to the Buddha.

The Enlightened, the Sea of Light,

I bow my head to the One, the Nameless.

I pray to God’s only begotten

For a world without hate.

I ask for peace of the Nameless.

Peace for all time,

And good fortune too.

I ask for World Peace from the Nameless.
