his daily bread is prayer
he comes in, orders a glass of cold water
sit’s at the same table
a sip moistens thin lips
eye lids close
shut out life
elbows are placed
in grooves made by cracked red skin
as slowly, thin veined leaves
touch each other
and the world stops
as another world opens of surreal serenity
where the passion is peace
he prays for a minute, an hour
until he is finished
and ready to be
reunited with the living

I am a 52 year old male with a late diagnosis of Asperger's Syndrome. I enjoy writing in all forms about people and life. I enjoy running over the moors where my mind can be free from the stresses of everyday life. I am currently studying for a PhD in autism and aging. I hope you enjoy my writing and please feel free to leave a comment. Thank you for taking the time to visit my site.
