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…
