A Silent Prayer

A week ago I was staring at a beach

Waiting on a table for nine

Like spoiled clay

I waste away

When showered with affection

A silent prayer

Shooting bottle rockets at red lights

Shooting bottle rockets, to let off steam

With no idea how worried to be

A year ago I was older than I am

Waiting on time

Like buried pets

I live on in memory's deception

A silent prayer

Shooting bottle rockets at red lights

Shooting bottle rockets

To let off steam

With no idea how grateful to be

A day ago I was dreaming as I slept

Unable to read a sign

Like Christmas cards

I take up space

Symbolic of connection

A silent prayer
