let us polish ourselves as rocks one another
to reflect the Image and transcend the body
to live as one in one--
all bodies a series of reflections,
one Image multiplied and thus clarified--
a precession of glories--
a hierarchy of illumination
in acts of divine creation
in angst, struggling through choice
to see ourselves as we are seen,
to know ourselves as we are known
within the body of Christ
as eternal Divine Image,
Amen.

This is beautiful. I think that it reflects what we (I) want in a prayer. This poem reflect the need the want to show the "good" or what one could/ can be. I love the lines: to see ourselves as we are seen,/ to know ourselves as we are know. These show the essences of what we all need to know how we are truly seen and understood by others.
So I don't know if these are the comments that you want/need but this is my two cents worth I hope it is helpful. Sorry it is so long I miss discussing literature and poetry.
I like this too
