“God save me from this, my daily grind:
the intemperate racing of my mind.
Deliver me from lusts that lay waste:
flesh, peace, praise, and haste.
Hatched into life beneath an opal sky,
Give me song, give me wing to fly.”
--Ben Palpant, 2010

Ben,
Thank you for this poem–prayer. I like it in its entirety and how appropriate for a post on the day of your birth.
The last two lines fit the ending of your book…one more way to say it. “Hatched beneath the opal sky”. Yes.
I believe God heard and is answering your prayer.
Happy Birthday,
Mom
