A GUIDE INTO THE SACRAMENT OF PRAYERS by Chinemerem Prince Nwankwo – Poetry – PAROUSIA Magazine

 A GUIDE INTO THE SACRAMENT OF PRAYERS
Pray without ceasing — 1Thes5:17

Start with a note of prayer, watch the roof of your tongue cleft, splinting
allusions toward heaven — a glee spirit dialoguing the table before God,

where holy hands insignias and clasps in self-effacement. 
This is how you unease and unease self, salivating

the quivering rhythms of precautions. unfold like an old garment 
and avail a contrite heart teething the rigor of a cloven tongue.

earnest the cheers of tongue-graphing the realm of the unknown, fruiting 
the upper echelon of the Spirit. On bended knees, in praying mantis, unyoke flaws, 

teaching phobias how to submit. Trim your wicks and prune your 
heart as offertory on the altar where grace drips and faith revs. 

This is how you begin praying without ceasing where the Spirit of 
prayer is unbroken, hosting an intrinsic impulse of duty.

& in holy orisons, learn to unrelent this glowing pzazz.; see it a fellowship, 
a breaking of bread, and an altar flaming a lingo relishing where Godhead exudes.
