The Grayling Were At Prayer Poem by William Burke, S.J.
The Grayling Were At Prayer
Today I fished at Broken Bridge.
I threw a mosquito on the water
and waited for a Grayling to tear the surface
and impale itself on a steel barb.
But the Grayling were at prayer,
a sacrament of silence, thank you Lord,
just what I need.
My mosquito will dance on the water another day.
