I Pray
I quiet myself,
I fight off the voices that seem to
overcrowd.
They are not welcomed here,
their protest and hassling isn't allowed.
∞
I block out my falsified justification,
I slowly let down the walls that I
allow to close me in.
It’s now time to let the rare listening
to happen,
it’s time to let the anonymous prayers
to begin.
∞
The eyes of my soul search my heart for
words I've yet to know.
I search for situations of people and
things that life has yet to show.
I pray for mercy to be given to others
and for forgiveness to come their way.
I pray that strength and peace is given
in times of what may.
∞
I pray for those who have done wrong
and refuse to acknowledge they did.
Prayer for those who walk with much
pride,
those who let their self-worth go to
the highest bid.
∞
I pray for those who have lost their
way
and have no desire to make it right.
I pray for those who fight inner demons
quietly,
late into the night.
∞
There are people who hurt, struggle and
can’t breathe
because of the weight that they carry.
Some have shut down and closed off,
resistant in sharing.
∞
There are emotions that run high,
there are roaming doubts so strong.
I pray for their progressive healing
and the act of letting go to come
along.
∞
I pray for the pasts of others and I
pray for their future,
and the people in wait.
I pray for a better outcome in their present
and if needed, a better turn in their
fate.
∞
I ask myself,
Why do you pray for people whom you
barely, if at all, know?
I ask myself,
Why do you pray for people whose
gratitude don’t and probably will never show?
∞
It’s because it’s my duty,
as a human with a soul.
To strive and find happiness and peace
despite it all is the goal.
∞
I pray for others
because I know too, the hardships of
this world.
And I pray
that someone, anyone is praying for me,
this one whimsical girl.
