Prayer Poem by Francisco Arcellana
Prayer
Close all open things, Lord.
Open all closed things.
All those who have long received, let them give.
All those who have long given, let them receive.
All those too long apart, let them come together.
All those too long together, sunder them.
Let the wise be fools for once, Lord,
And let the fools speak their minds.
Affirm the long-denied, Lord.
Fulfill the unfulfilled.

Wonderful prayer/ poem...I particularly like the use of anaphora.
Lord, let those who withhold give! Lord, turn those stones into bread!
A rare poem that begins and ends so well, and never waver once in the middle. Frankly I never had the opportunity to read your poems before.
A beautiful prayer appealing Lord to fulfill all that is unfulfilled.
A powerful write/ prayer from one of the greatest Poets of the Philippines. So wonderfully and brilliantly written.
