A Prayer

dianeneilson

I have lain for hours.

Not asleep;

a knotted ball of misery

sits heavy in my heart.


I wish I could dream,

light and free.

Released from malignant thoughts

of this cruel helplessness.


I would change places

in a heartbeat,

to know what you are feeling.

A chance at least to help.


Just to bring you peace;

release you

from the war that rages on,

tormenting your soul!


I yearn for days gone.

Simple days

where pleasure was just being;

did not need to be sought.


I 'am' grateful for what we have had

but it's not enough!

I want more, of you, of us,

our easy companionship.


I pray for a future -

not too distant.

When we will rise again together:

Joined in our love, at peace, strong.
