A wizened brown-robed monk
Knelt in silent supplication
Outside his humble hermitage
In the star-filled desert night
Experiencing great despair
Questioning his life of prayer
His soul dust-filled and bone dry
Pleading with God for consolation
Movement in the night-time sky
Caught his cataract-distorted eye
A UFO drawing quickly near
Is this real or a heavenly vision
As the small silver orb hovered
He watched with amazement and awe
As the sphere of shiny metal
Transformed into a movie screen
His soul filled to overflowing
With the essence of God's love
Many pictures lit up the screen
The fruits of his lfe of atonement
God's voice resonated in his soul
Brother your life of sacrifice
Has not been wasted but celebrated
The angels and saints watch over you
Be still and know that I am God
In times of elation and despair
Eternal gifts await you here
To glorify your life of prayer
