day five.

bowed down in prayer
praising the lord when the
rays break and the light
gives way to holy dark
hands held together finger
tips let your love of God leave
your lips the trees sway in reverence
a single do and it will be done.

bowed down in prayer she is lost
follow the path she can't find her map
thunder is clapping and lightening is
flashing and rain is crashing and burning
around her bare feet soles worn out there
is so much walking every hardened crease
a mile.

a thousand moons won't fill the gap
that once was her smile.

bowed down in prayer tears well up
behind once blind eyes hands once used
for wrong are held up in subahanrabil
a'laa the faith laid dormant in her marrow
is now chorusing through her bones
beyond the confusion she sees the hope
for her dead flower there is a new seed
a heart once empty is now filled with something
indescribable He is listening nose to
ground worship the Creator the
created asks for forgiveness

-you will be heard
