Prayer Poem by Lora Colon

Prayer

Rating: 5.0


Why do we always look to the skies
When we can't find the answers around us?
What are these inexplicable ties
That have encumbered our minds and bound us?

Why can't we admit the glaring truth?
No one from another realm hears our cries;
Though you may find my thinking uncouth,
I find no proof of heavenly allies

Only to each other are we linked,
Our tears only fall upon human hearts;
When the sobbing's heard, clear and distinct,
Help comes from true friends, not Elysian parts

I think your right. Salvation is here, not in the sky, there, not even clouds are saved, in rain they die or are blown away by the wind. The last stanza is quiet enlightening, realistically truthful. 'tears only fall upon human hearts'. The difficulty resides in finding the right ones. True friends, not many. This is and extraordinarily sincere and brave work, plus excellently written. Quite unforgettable.

Although we do not find any answers still we look at the sky. We find beauty and we feel the gladness and expression of love and unity. This poem is very nice and interesting. We are linked to teach each other. It is true that true friends help us. An excellent poem is beautifully penned.10
