An Unformatted Prayer

Abandoned and alone in the middle of the ocean,
Rummaging in the dark,awaiting for the lighthouse flash,
Soaked into the series of failures, lost all my motion,
Come on, blow out my misery with your powerful splash.

Surrounded by the concealed hatred and the phony veils,
Certainly a knotty task to intuit fake faces.
When the truth never prevails and the untruth fails to fail,
Come on,burn evils and save goods with your generous grace.

Like the refreshing rain droplets on infertile dry land,
drench me unconditionally with your pure love showers.
Like an oasis in the desert, moist my hot dry sand,
Like a spring, adorn my garden with alluring flowers.

I wish you fathom my unformatted hidden prayer
and bestow me with sheer confidence and courage to dare

Beautiful unformatted (not by rote) prayer poem, Supraja. Most everyone can relate to your earnest, heartfelt plea. A great sonnet w/creative punch aplenty. May love light your path always.
