Tennis Prayer
at
With the certainty
of the sunrise
may the ball rise
above me
waiting to be placed
May the flight
of the sphere
with its cosmic grace
be a perfect trajectory
defying
space and time
So, as I turn
agile and angled
I let fly
My heart sings
as the sphere soars
higher and higher
only to come down
to an invitation
to sweep wide
an earthly motion
skimming
controlled power
like a stone on water
May my racquet be my friend
may the ball travel wherever I wish
may the net serve as a gentle reminder
may I have confidence in myself
may I respect my opponent
May this game bring joy
to me
to those I love
in this…
our interstellar world
