PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Through the Jesus Prayer, and to the Theotokos fervent prayers,

I, the least of Orthodox Christians, can direct

my cry to Their Thrones of Mercy; and this need

They will not sneer at, nor harshly judge, nor reject.

To Saints Alexei and Januarius, I also pray

for relief from this world---which is having its way

of medical affliction with me and its imposition of pain.

In faith, I know that this plea will not meet, there, with disdain.

This is a testimony that, I dearly hope, each of these poems declares.
