if you want to make poems... pray.

© akka b.

If you want to make poems; pray 

Pray quietly, pray out loud
Pray because your spirit depends on it
Pray because you deserve to be heard
And you deserve to hear 

Forces unseen
Seen
Intelligent
Laughing

In prayer we come to know where hurt is born, where dreams are born, where obstacles live, and that grace always lives

Make time to speak to yourself
To listen to Self
To understand the language of what can't be scheduled,contained, controlled, contrived 

Pray.

Because that's where poems are made 

Where heart is heard
Where heart is asked

and love remains
