can it be?


i stand beneath
a sky of glass
reflecting back
my aching gaze
beyond the mirror 
i know there lies
a different view
i am seen
and heard
and understood
but still i stand
my cries like images
thrown up
fall back
upon my eyes
i turn to silence
as if by still
i can move
break the glass
see the sun

    I know this feeling. I have often felt like God just wasn't listening, like the roof stopped my prayers as effectivly as it stops rain. Awesome poem.

    Interesting :) Yeah, I've felt that before...

    I like the imagery, and the way you kept each line really short.
