On a Prayer

In peaceful stillness my silent prayers fly upwards toward heaven on whispering wings with spirit sounds unheard by mortal ears and unknown hymns which the angels sing. Whispering wings flutter all around unseen they surround me as I petition in earnest wrapping me with blankets of spiritual comfort hovering, elevating my soul’s awareness. Fly away swiftly, oh whispering wings take my humble prayers up to God’s throne carry these words that are deep in my heart words to be heard by the Father alone. 1/12/2022

"heard by the Father alone" This is so true, for only He is called, "The hearer of prayers". I think this scripture is so lovely, and is this poem.

Laura, this is a beautiful take on the contest theme of whispering wings. Your faith is so evident in these words of belief that the Holy Spirit and God's ministering angels, though unseen by human eyes are nevertheless real and knowable by the peace they bring in this tumultuous world. The belief and hope that our prayers are heard by a loving and mighty God is enough to get us through the hardest days. Thank you for your edifying poetry. Blessings ~ John
