Yet [*/+/^] : Zealously Written To Offer My Soul's Final Orthodox Christian Prayer

LORD:  when my death begins (say, at my fingertips,

then all over me, from toes to head)---

please let a final Jesus prayer emerge from my lips,

joyous to soar starward to You; and my soul free of fear or dread.



Starward, an Orthodox Christian

here is poetry that doesn't always conform

I agree.  I have often

Thanks for the comment, and yes . . . I agree.  I have often experienced test anxiety, and I believe that death is the final test that earthly life undergoes before transitioning.  That is why I will be dependent on the Jesus prayer, and on the tactile reminder and focus provided by my prayer-rope.
