PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

i prayed for a ceasefire,

for a break in the rain,

quietly, of course, 

so as not to bother God

going about His busy day;

He quietly listened as i prayed,

so as not to bother me,

i wouldn't listen anyway.

i prayed for a sign,

for direction toward my wants,

demanding, of course,

so as to bother God,

that i may get my way;

He quietly listened as i prayed,

so as not to bother me,

i wouldn't listen anyway.

i prayed for vengeance,

that she would hurt like me,

angry, of course,

maddened at the mercy of God,

who had grace instead to pay;

He quietly listened as i prayed,

so as not to bother me,

i wouldn't listen anyway.

i prayed from my heart,

broken in tears and 

bothered, of course,

bothered i hadn't listened

to what He was trying to say;

He quietly spoke as i prayed,

as i listened with reverence

to what he was saying to me...
