Silent Prayer by Linette Rabsatt

Silent Prayer

 

I saw the older folks

come into the church

bow their heads silently

and pray

but today

I think audibility

is key

to call on the Father

to help us to be

a better version of ourselves

let these prayers

sing loudly through

the valleys

and echo through the mountains

let our supplications

flow like water

tumbling down like a fountain

and piled into the sea

praying away disasters and misery

pleading for God’s infinite mercy

a supplication

for forgiveness for our bad deeds

in this loud prayer

I cry and can hardly breathe

because indeed

I have done wrong

but I hope that my audible prayer will reach the ears of God
