Poets

Holy God, please bless poets. I have been praying for journalists and scientists and those who accurately report facts. Tonight I pray for everyone who has wrestled with words in an attempt to tell more than facts--to reflect and evoke the complexity of reality without diminishment. From the literary giant to the besotted adolescent, bless them all. The journalist, the scientist, and the poet are equally the enemies of lies. Inspire them. Amen.
