A Prayer In the Dark

As a youth,i thought the sky was heaven.

Structured a tower  into the condensed clouds but was thrown down by rain
 and broke  into pieces that weren't even.

Then i molded my desires into bricks for six days hoping to convert my dreams into reality and rest on the sabath,
on day seven.

I prayed to God but the devil answered,"am i closer to tell than heaven?",i wondered.

Curiously i cross checked the time,only to realize seven comes before six among the days of the week in order,
regardless the number.

Now that i am grown,i know the truth,

Heaven is a spirit,
We cant see it,
But can only feel it.

So i pray with my heart,the answers becomes visible to my eyes when ever i listen with my mind.

If life is all vanity and inventions are products of imaginations,
then i must live in my mind and dream in reality.

When i feel depressed Am i blind?,
 
When confronted with night mares,and i scream out a name i believe is love,am i kind?, 

Asleep i pray that when i wake,my mind be calm like the water flow down the hill into the stream.  

because the answer of every prayer is peace.

A prayer in the dark,
Seek and you shall find.
