Hushed Contemplations

By Danielle Solomon

My prayers are like poems

Silent words whisper in my head

Holy sounds, unsaid

Symbolizing piety and worship

Bringing me solace and remedy


Grant me might and vigor

To resist the fruit of knowledge

And its various forms

Let me fall not to temptation

And exonerate me if I do


Where has the sun gone?

It was not there when I woke

It took to bed early

Now only scorched in my mind

Still, my prayers remain unsaid
