PRAYER
What happens to a prayer unspoken?
Does it fade away
Like a summer squall?
Or rise like sea spray-
And then fall?
Does it remain the same?
Or grow in urgency-
And consume like a flame?
Maybe it just remains a dream
Unspoken word
Or is it heard?
What happens to a prayer unspoken?
Does it fade away
Like a summer squall?
Or rise like sea spray-
And then fall?
Does it remain the same?
Or grow in urgency-
And consume like a flame?
Maybe it just remains a dream
Unspoken word
Or is it heard?

We were told to rewrite 'A Dream Deferred' by Langston Hughes. So the formatting is his but the rewrite is mine.

"A prayer unspoken" is no different than a prayer spoken. The only difference is if you speak it somebody might hear.
