Prayer
As i watched myself through anothers eyes I contemplated,
shall i bow or kneel today?
He would not tell me
The candle wick burning in its splendor, Elation gripping
me, bumble bees buzzing around me.
I hear his voice, i see his face
Yet i don't know where to begin
Crushed yet not defeated, i speak,
Only inside my head, racing thoughts,
I stop them like a roulette, focus
on one thought alone
Like a flaming arrow pointed at my heart I have no time
to ponder, frozen in time My prayer is sent, forget me not.
Stay calm, hear myself breathing.
Move swiftly and deflect my worrisome thought.
Waiting for an answer. A chuckle or a sigh, Anything to
break this moment
Days go by. Prayer forgotten yet never lost.
Hope knocking as loud as the woodpecker
at his work. Prayer is answered
Gratitude without question.
Prayer becomes praise
The pleasant sound of cheer ringing
in my head.
Cant explain it all, i can only move ahead and remember
the best times of my life were when all time seemed to stop And his focus was
on me
