Pray What?


Tell me lady

When you pray

What do you ask for?

You’ve got him

In your very house

But do not see him

He is all around

You deny

Discussions of any kind

Do not want to hear about it


Tell me woman

When you pray

What do you expect?

He is all around

You share the same bed

But you pretend

You are already asleep

You won’t dare touch him

Your most human and sweet

Sincere company

You will not admit


Tell me sweetheart,

When you pray

What do you hide?

Why don’t you look into his eyes?

Something you cannot face

Instead, all you do, pray.

Why even try to hide when He see's all...I really feel this one! Been there...

We pray for a longlasting happiness, for the endlessness of Love. We must cherish the ones by our side, indeed, the ones who we share our lives with everyday. Those are the ones to love, minue by minute. Great poem, sweet as you are.

So filled with the questions that often prick our minds... but also with the answers that are certainties. Lovely, Dulce!

First of all welcome back dear sweet lady, hope your time was FUN!!!

I feel this one is one filled with secrets, praying maybe for frogiveness of guilt, having one so close and wanting another. I think allot of people can be like this stuck in relationships for whatever reasons, and yearn to be somewhere else


Wonderfully written and many questions, loved it. Missed YOU :}

Sweeter Dulce, Hola (?)

Prayer for me is asking God to let me know His Will for me today--also asking for the power to carry it out.
That's about it.

But I think your post is less about praying and more about how to live and to deal with life on life's terms

"No place in the world are more hiding places than in the human heart." ...and we each have one of those.

Love leaks from your heart as you write, Dulce. That's why your words are so effectual. And it is a pleasure to read your heart-thoughts each day.
Thank you.

I ask for guidance, but I don't have very much belief in the power of prayer. Prayer & a Creator God seem like a wonderful dream or fantasy; I've had too many fantasies in my life & they were destructive, not helpful. ~Mary

This is great...so many I know do this...miss what is all around them everywhere instead praying and denying what is already provided...

Unfortunately, this is so true. It happens in many relationships, where you lose sight of those you need to cherish. You treasure prayers but can't see they've already been answered. Love your interpretation of it!

Dr.John said...

My problem with poetry is that I have trouble with things that signify something else. I'm never sure what "m reading or what it means. I guess that's okay because there is always some sort of feeling carried.

The Lord helps those who take a big helping for themselves! ;-)

Love this poem. Makes you stop and think. What do we expect? Who do we pray to? Why do we pray? Love it.
