Time to Pray

An American Haiku

Full moon up above the purple-gray mountains
As if singing in the night
Sun sets in the west

Doves fly through the gray sky
mountains in the west begin to fade
night trickles in and soon will be upon us

Weary bodies retreat
To warm home and dinner
Will sleep well tonight

Time to pray and give
thanks for the day and
For night’s rest to come
