Prayer

Have you ever felt like you needed to talk to someone? Someone whom you could open the closet to and unveil the skeletons that you have been hiding Someone who you could connect to soul to soul Someone who would never get enough of your bickering And someone who could just lend you a listening ear Not utter a word back but just… listen Today your hard-work finally paid off and boy your happiness sure is a sight to see Baggy eyes with dark circles are not hard to miss behind the heavy concealer on your face The night owls and the different phases of lunar have become your night companions With them you have shared the heaviest of secrets of which they promised to hoarder for you They have seen you through the rocky roads and the gruesome mountain hikes you had to endure For the sake of being a better you The neighbor’s cock has been an alarm that never failed to accomplish its duties Cock-doodle-doo it went and like a zombie rising from the dead you sprung back to life From a busy night onto a busy day with no complaint ‘Thank you very much’ are the words burning in your mouth You want to show how grateful you are to someone who is well deserving of your appreciation Someone whom beside lunar and the owls have been with you from the very start Someone who will genuinely feel… appreciated Like a lamb who got separated from its herd A wanderer who roams aimlessly With no destination and a place to call his own Falling deeper and deeper into the abyss A hollow you slowly transform into That feeling of being lost, alone and empty Assurance you desperately yearned for A warm embrace you badly needed Someone who will be there for you Someone who will just… reach out for your hand and help you see the light once again Sometimes that ‘someone’ is like a pearl in an oysters mouth Rare and hard to find Friends and family who are just one call away But yet hard to reach out to them Only one Being that never fails to answer your call Always available every second of the day to give His unending and undivided attention Always there when you need someone to talk to He thrives in your praise for all the things He does for you out of pure love Like a mother bird He shelters you under His wings and protects you from all ill fates He gives hope to those who are lost and guides them back to the herd they strayed from He’s been abandoned and betrayed countless times but yet always have a soft side for all of us even those who turned their back on Him He is there through thick and thin He is a friend, a family that will never betray you All you need to do is dial His number through a Prayer and He will answer in a heartbeat Forever with you…
