Yet [*/+/^] : Zealously Written To Offer The Final Prayer, Of My Orthodox Christian Soul, 7

When I have passed from this world, do not be appalled,

do not give in to terror or any other dread

just let at least the Jesus Prayer be said: 

that I shall be, more fully, Starward-Led, 

always nearer the Bright and Morning Star; He has given me such hope---

(hope that sin can never have fully stallled)---

my Lord and Savior, and His Blessed Mother, Who have blessed my Prayer-Rope.


[ */+/^ ]     

Starward-Led,

the sinner and unworthy servant of God,

and an Orthodox Christian

Author's Notes/Comments: 

The poem alludes to Luke 18:13 and Revelation 22:16.
