I was supposed to be praying to God / Gale Acuff

 

I was supposed to be praying to God

 

and Jesus and the Holy Ghost but it

looked more like the back of my eyelids that

I was praying to and they were dark of

course because I closed my eyes but still I

was reminded of lying in bed at

night and gazing at the ceiling, dark, and

not perfectly dark at that, you can see

those little heads of pins of light sometimes

dancing a little like the stars you see

when you get up too fast and I wonder

if that happened to Lazarus, Jesus

even, when they rose from the dead, that might

answer my question about whether death

is only like a sleep. Let us not pray.
