A Prayer


Well, this is my newest poem.. Not sure why I wrote this or where it came from. It isn't the type of thing I'm normally write so even if you think it's terrible please comment so I can try to fix it.
Thanks!



A Prayer
By Mesa Bailey
March 7, 2010

Gliding through the sky,
On the wings of a dove
Sweet words uttered so softly,
Filling the open air with rays of hope
Gingerly the message it brings.
Though dark and dreary,
Our world may seem
A silver lining resting on your heavenly wing!
Open the clouds and let the whispers in
I wished on a shooting star,
Watching it fall out of view.
Lighting the night.
Fading with trails of truth,
Whisked away by my dreams
Floating above it all,
The sound of the rain,
Sweet music in the air!
Like a dream to you I’ll seem.
Resting on the cold ground below,
You took a chance.
Walking a thin line,
Both sides of truth,
Love and hate.
Oh the decisions we make!
Whisper a prayer into the night,
Right there under the moon
I’ll be by your side.
Gliding through the open air,
Until the days I’ll rest,
On the wings of a dove
My simple prayer!
