A Prayer of the Seal
Lord,
The rock is hard, but the sun is warm.
I thank You for this heavy skin that keeps the cold at bay,
and for this moment of stillness away from the crashing surf.
I am large, and perhaps ungraceful on the land,
but here, with my flippers clasped,
I am simply Your servant, enjoying the light.
Amen.
(Missing from Prayers of the Ark by Carmen Bernos de Gasztold, 1963 (English edition), 1947 & 1955 (French editions).
