So near, <br />Yet so far away, <br />My calling on God, <br />But I forgot how to pray, <br /> <br />I clasped my hands, <br />And look up to the sky, <br />But I must forget, <br />Because I don’t even try, <br /> <br />Faith, hope, and honesty, <br />This is my religion, <br />To fall through the cracks, <br />I’ll never find my ambition, <br /> <br />Time ticks away, <br />From the sound of the clock, <br />Just ringing in my ears, <br />Waiting for it to stop, <br /> <br />The sky is through my window, <br />I look up on my knees, <br />I look through, close my eyes, <br />And let it take me overseas, <br /> <br />The big vast sky, <br />Waving with frustration, <br />Hoping this is it, <br />To find my revelation, <br /> <br />A wave is getting closer, <br />The clouds are rushing in, <br />I feel as if I’m pushed out farther, <br />My altitude is my sin, <br /> <br />I open up my eyes, <br />To see the sun went down, <br />The room is pitch black, <br />But I’m still kneeling down, <br /> <br />I close my eyes, <br />And feel the night time sky, <br />As I continue to hold my hands, <br />I can only wonder why…<br /><br />Joshua Hillard<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/my-sky/
