Silent Prayer

As darkness crawls into the night
Sorrow clouds, the heart so mellow
Scars revealed an ugly sight
And thoughts run deep and hollow

Soared to the moon
Bathed in sunlight
Yet darkness falls too fast too soon
Faith all shattered, I live in fright

My hopes, my toil, are cast away
I lie awake and dwell with reason
Eyes wide shut, I kneel and pray
For all things I do not fathom

Let me see the world in a grain of sand
Grant me the will to fill the void with love
Let grasp the future in my hand
And let me rise and reign above

Oh help me God, hear me speak
And hear my whispers in the wind
Forsake me not, though I am weak
Forgive my wrath and all my sins

In solitude, Dear Lord, these silent tears I cry 
Visions impaired, long gone has my divine afflatus
As silence becomes me, choices made to live or die
I seek solace in Your presence, undue mercy and forgiveness.
