Barron's Prayer (& Ours)

A Midsommer's Night Dream...

William Shakespeare, "A Midsummer's Night Dream" (Act II sc. i)

Puck's Fairy Song

Over hill, over dale,

Thorough bush, thorough brier,

Over park, over pale,

Thorough flood, thorough fire,

I do wander every where,

Swifter than the moon's sphere;

And I serve the fairy queen,

To dew her orbs upon the green.

Noah Kahan, "False Confidence"

 Poem by Google AI:

I lace my steps with heavy pride,
And lock the trembling doubt inside.
A polished shield, a brilliant lie,
Held steady as I walk on by.

The mirror shows the painted smile,
I've learned to wear it all the while.
But in the quiet of the night,
The armor fades without a fight.

So confident, they say of me,
But they ignore what cannot be.
It’s just a mask of borrowed strength,
I stretch my truth to any length.

Siddhartha

The Bodhi Tree

I am a Bodhi Tree with branches reaching for the sky.
My cooling shade entreats a song, a lovely lullaby.
My roots run deep above and below the blessed ground
Where prayerful spirit looms my ancient trunk is found.

Siddhartha Gautama became Buddha beneath my tree.
In harmony reverent lines form to pay homage to me. 
Enlightened beloved spiritual teacher of India’s grace,
My humble trunk was honored to smile upon his face.
