Prayer

Lost in whirlpool of thoughts

pondered who am I?

I became a question of sort

helplessness, is that to be alive?

I still tried, human zest

I fought a war against destiny

I thumped my chest

cried out, reward this brevity

swallowing shrinking hope

I scuttled pillar to post

I looked up tattered and spoke

some strange Divine cajoled

melting into a ball of surrender

I reach the foothills

steep was the climb, yet tender

I burn the ego to fulfill

flames warmed my soul

one step after the other

to reach his door!
