A Prayer Said-A Leap Into The Dark


 

Answers in prayers-a prayer said 



Into the darkness I leap

Between yesterday and today

Figuring out the what and why

Reasons why we are alive

 

The causes and reasons blur

And I doze between bouts of sleep

As the flashing lights blind my eyes

The rhyme and reasons slip by me

 

As to the questions what and why

I reason out with a clever trick

Delving into sacred scriptures

Building answers brick by brick

 

Plodding on through written words

Words carved into rocks and stones

Reading between the lines to seek

The reason why we are skin and bones

 

As I ponder the mystery of life

My eyes give in to blissful sleep

I know somehow my answers lie

In the prayers, often my lips shall say


This is a poem about wondering why we are here on Earth. Prayers can answer our questions about what and why.
