Despair

Prayer.
To find the peace that I once had in you
Which now and then returns unseen, like a ghost.
Now uncertainty runs rampant, desolation abounds
The soul is no man's land, between "what if?" and "how come?"
That simple faith that once irrigated this land
Those clouds have since gone with the virtues
I'm left without Grace, although I breathe it in the morning
And let it go in the evening.
Still, I can't say how it came to be
That son grew apart from father
That youthful eyes saw lies
That a true soul was lost in the same place it first learned to never feel fear.
Restore the indwelling spirit that first altered this life.
