Lost Prayer

A prayer,  just one wish

That I had for me, selfish as it may seem.

I prayed to you, sent it to the heavens.

My patience seeming to wear off,

Who do I ask? Why did this happen?

All around me akin to silence.

For that one moment of happiness,

Where do I search?

Don't know how the sands,

kept slipping through my hands.

Can't fathom what other sadness 

lay in front of me.

Life losing it's meaning.

Alone in search of that wish.

that I had sent to heavens.

Must haven't reached high enough

Falling somewhere I know not of.

If you find it, do find me.

And if you do, Would you help me.

To send it above to the creator?

this is wonderful, as though I could have written it myself, a very creative, yet relatable piece, I admire the words you have written, prayers unanswered, life's meaning... we are constantly searching for something more, for answers we may never find... A very thought provoking write!

Always searching... lots of people in this world can relate to that concept.

I thought it was a good, thought-provoking poem. :)

Thanks Stephanie, Indeed most have unfulfilled wishes things they really want the most and are undelivered to them.

[Robert Strzalko]

It feels like you are searching for something in this poem. I think that's a good thing.

[New Theory]

Thank you Robert, we all have some unfulfilled wishes. This poem is for those unfulfilled wishes.

This is beautiful and slightly bitter- sweet.We search to the heavens for the answers sometimes if we are lucky maybe we get the answer yes? I really liked this Theory :)

[New Theory]

Yes, it's not always we get our wishes but maybe the lord has a grand plan for us and it will be done someday somehow.

[Vidya Bacchus]

I believe that we always end up exactly where we are supposed to be,but that is just me.

[New Theory]

Yes, I too believe that. :) His ways are mysterious.

[Vidya Bacchus]

Yes they are :)

[Mello]

nice piece :) many times in our life, we seemed to be bludgeoned with ignored wishes and unanswered prayers. i guess the very act of wishing/praying is one way our minds adapt to cruel realities that we're forced to face everyday.

Thanks Mello for the review, Yes many a times we have unfinished wishes and prayers, this poem is for that.
