a prayer

like a fully inflated balloon
i let go of what had been blowing up inside
set it free until i see it no more
it flies high to the skies
until the clouds kiss it
and the sun embraces it
the wide horizon welcomes it warmly
the space cherish its presence
it is where it is supposed to stay
but it won't stay there forever
for it too will burst and shatter into pieces
like this this poor weary heart
ready to rupture and split open like fresh wound
my spirit so barren,my soul so lost
my heart so void..
but the chasm within is unbearable
can no longer bear the weight of loads
nor contain the rancour it gives me
it devoured my whole being
consumed the persona in me
if i am emptied, i can have another fill
when everything is poured out
let the putrid stench revelation
be replaced with a potpourri of heavenly whiff
and fragrance of peace and love
you've got to spill the surety
of your affection, that i too need
i can have another try
i can be broken again and again
and gathering the pieces won't be hard anymore
but i can never hold each debris
that falls out of place
cleanse me from all impurities
that tarnished my being
make me, mold me again like a beautiful vessel;
a perfect masterpiece
seethed with love and compassion
bathed with the sunshine of hope
unbustled, chaste and unblemished
consecrate me with serenity and fortitude
mend me and make me whole again...
let me fly not like a balloon which
will soon split open
but like an eagle that soars high
and never gets weary...

The poem A PRAYER cited how wonderful life is. But no matter how pretty it is, it is still normally troubled with major problems. These problems may let us make helpless and put us down, and even making us losing the knowledge and power to overcome it. It may be so hard to face all our adversities but we failed to realize that God has designed it to make us a better individual. God may put us into the hardest point in our life that may shatter us into pieces but we failed to understand that God made it to mold us into a strong person in facing the difficulties of life. We will not be any more like a balloon which will soon be burst but we will be eagles who will soar high for great successes.


Theme:life is full of trials but these trials will make us in becoming a more courageous person in facing problems in life.

tone: dramatic

In my own interpretation on this prayer it is all about the life that he/she want to have another chance to live and prove to the people that she has a willingness to change and make it better in the second time arround of his/her life. life is full of sacrifice that we never know if is right or wrong. failure is not a failure to meet your goal in life.no man or human will ever truly know that he has succeded untill he experience an apparent failure.

God give asthe major problem because he that we have the power to overcome this problem. Trial is always there to test our faith in him. we must be strong to do anything to give our best.and no man become strong without struggle with adversity, resistance,and problems. struggle make us strong and in the process of overcoming , we achieve happiness.we learn threby how despite everything life can become a joyous adventure.

in this poem "The prayer "talks about how life is challenging,and how were facing trials in our life. From that problem were getting stronger to face the problem. From that problem also we get a lesson from what we did.

The poem expresses one selfs feeling. To what the surrounding bear himself.A person could no longer make life to the fullest without admitting some sorts of warriors deep inside.You may fall down but will be pushed again and strive to the path of life.
