Redux

I reread the scriptures
Raised my hands to the same sky 
My body trembles once again 
Of fear that perhaps my supplications would go unanswered 
My eyes flood over with tears of remorse 
Of how I had knelt here before 
And asked for you from the heavens 
But now I return 
On my knees yet again
To ask
Why my prayer was answered
