Prayer

I speak to God in silence without words spoken and I only hear God when my soul is quiet- in a silent prayer. Today, I stood trembling with sorrow for the hundreds and hundreds who died this day and the thousands who have died since the pandemic and the millions who will die all over the world before this ends . . . (I only hear God when my soul is quiet in silent prayer) My tears fall and I light a flickering candle as a symbol of remembrance for the dead. This pandemic has changed the fabric of this world forever _ My heart is an ocean of grief and I cannot even go to the park or forest for serenity it is forbidden . . . or even go to the one place that will give solace church . . . _____________________________ April 8, 2020 Poetry/Verse/prayer Copyright Protected, ID 20-1242-186 All Rights Reserved, 2020, Constance La France Submitted to Strand Pick 4, sponsor, Brian Strand First Place
