i have seen many a times
people praying for reasons unknown to me
i wondered if it really helped them
were they being gulled into the act of praying
or was it their natural instinct
i had to give it a try to know why
i waited for a tough situation to come into my life
when it came my natural instinct was to close my eyes
a violent sea within
i reminded myself that i had to pray to know
i bought my hands together and bowed my head down
i prayed
in silence, there were no words spoken in my mind
nothing asked for
with my eyes tight shut
i saw within to find a the violent lake metamorphosing into a placid lake
