Yet [*/+/^] : Zealously Written To Offer The Final Prayer, Of My Orthodox Christian Soul, 3

Today, I feel that Death, that wants to keep me unwhole

is nearer than before, as my body continues to fail.

But, through Christ's blessing, my Orthodox Faith will prevail,

as I pray the Jesus Prayer one last time from the core of my soul!



Starward-Led,

the sinner and unworthy servant of God, 

and an Orthodox Christian

Author's Notes/Comments: 

The poem is not a prayer or the prayer: the prayer is in the fourth line, and I hope Christ will bless me that it will be on my lips when my body commences its final shut-down.
