Blogger friend Richard introduced me to the Elfchen or Elevenie form, which is a German-inspired poem of eleven words in five lines, with 1, 2, 3, 4 words, then 1 word again for the fifth and last line.
LORD,
Help me
Be as Christ
Seeking You in prayer
Always
Then
Shall I
Walk with You
In trust, in communion
Eternal

This became such a beautiful image of prayer for me…the bee in the flower as we are to be in Christ, abiding in God. Prayer becomes less about our words and more about how we place ourselves in the presence of God. And the poem of prayer rises up from that earnest desire. Thank you! ~Paul
