Abandoned Prayers

Abandoned Prayers

This old unloved church

that`s stood for many years

no more blessings found

just the angel`s tears

Rows of decaying pews

with damp pealing paint

dark drab furniture

hints of colour so feint

Time has passed on by

faith has lost the day

wooden floors littered

no one left to pray

Sun light streaming through

locked windows behind

the sheer dereliction

plays tricks on the mind

There`s no love left here

for these sad old chairs

as nothing remains

just abandoned prayers

Hello Lissie,

This is a wonderfully, well written poem. Even angels dwell no longer, where there exist no people and no God to praise..Stained tears, earmarks the memories of a church, once fillled with life, now lies in its wake, the recipient of its' own last supper and all that exist, is emptiness and well wishes, of a people, no longer to ge, begotten..... .......This is a very pretty poem............... Words felt as though, you wrote them from your heart, thus, enpowering your poem, with its own soul .....Job very well done...

Sincerely,

Jim.
