Faithless

My prayers seem to echo To the stars Unheard by You, That's how I feel I feel wrapped by darkness Frustrated obscurity Nothings seems clear Nothing is real Faithless— Alone Crying in a corner My prayers resonate To the hollow end of the night Again and again My divine moments turn into dead silence No ears to listen, no mouth to speak The kaleidoscope has settled into crystal vision My astral journeys are now touchable skies Cold stony nights The stars were beautiful They were pearls of sky They were sequins to the soul Suspended up high Now they taste like fire Their skin is untouchable They're frigid, frozen, stoned Lacking soul and mind I feel so disconnected From the other world I feel alone My soul's screams unheard Tell me why I feel this way… Thrown into the city When all what kept me alive Was Your ethereal comfort? Tell me why… Tell me why I feel like You left me out When I know more than anyone else that you are always there Tell me why I feel like a barrier is built And I can see You no more… I know You are there I know that You can hear me But tell me why, I feel like I'm alone… I'm bleeding to death Please make the pain vanish Take it away Just like you used to My world has just been halved I'm on the other side— Trapped undersea I'm losing my breath I feel more real Than ever before I'm in a parallel universe Lacking a spirit Lacking a soul, a mind—the essence I cannot live Please have me back There still is hope— I'm still intact Guide me into My original track Give me breath Don't turn Your back…

I am feeling the urge to go back and read poetry from earlier writing of my favorite poets today and this is the one I opened of yours Omar. I truly enjoyed reading it today and it is one of your best. Love, Carol
