I prayed.....

funny thing is
for the first time
it was answered
the one I wished
craved to abandon
was vapor in the wind
a blind call at that
like seeing a shadow
or a demon in your mind
can it be real?

funny thing is
now it is
or is it??
like tasting the sun
scorching my senses
a bitter reality
my disillusionment disappears
cuts like a knife
yet,  I still can feel

now, not funny at all
cruel answer to my prayer
crimson flow from my veins
be careful I used to hear
about what you would ask for
might be closer than near
too close for comfort sake
smoke in my face


mirrored image of the sea
that is what I grasped to be
gone now the blue forever
in that prayer dance
a standoff of wills
can the prayer overcome?
the storm raging outside?

the sky turns dark
then blue again

just not what I expected

Lynne,
Painful painful painful.
I hope the writing of it
took some of it away.
