Notes About The Poem

Image result for pictures of woman kneeling in prayer

Solitude

Flocculent clouds suck the life from bel-esprit
She misses going out and warm springtime sun
She desires one verdant leaf upon a tree

Sharing feelings with the menagerie what fun
But this deafening silence lends to deep thought,
Deep relaxation, a need that's number one

Maybe our faith in God will again be sought
Like our founding fathers bowed knees in prayer  
Let our silence and solitude resound with praise

May thankfulness fill capacious waves of air
Not complaints and brooding that leads to despair

Contest: Heart Universes

Theme: "Like the silence that screams, cursing solitude....whispers of faith
sing patiently with prayers"

Victor, Yes, it should never waiver but sometimes the Devil tries to use different happenings in our lives to cause doubt or he even causes the problems or leads us astray. Your presence at my page is always like a breath of spring air. Sara

A poem so apt for the theme Sara. I loved the flow of words from one stanza to other. A prayer to God in silence gives so much peace to the restless mind. Best wishes for the contest Sara. Hugs ~ Ani

Anitha, A prayer is always what is needed the most in our lives and sometime we resort to it in the end not the beginning. Your presence here is appreciated. Sara
