I light a candle and whisper a prayer.
In the quiet depths of my heart, I recognize your sadness, your unbearable suffocation. My heart breaks for you, setting loose a thousand emotions. And I watch as the countless feelings contained within my whispered words float on a prayer, and are carried gently by the thin threads of the blue gray smoke of the candle wafting its way toward you. They glide gently in the air, crossing the distance between us, reaching you when I cannot.
In the empty loneliness you feel they find you. They uncoil and unravel around you. Whispered words of a whispered prayer, they comfort you. My love wraps itself around you. They promise to protect you.
I light a candle and whisper a prayer, knowing deep within my heart that even despite the large distance between us, when my prayer finally reaches you, you will be okay.

melancholious. Must've been a poem.
Beautiful words. I hope all is well?
glad to see you back with a very beautifully written post.
I believe for everything in life there is something, or probably there is only thing which may not give anything but the power within and that is called the prayers.
You have a great weekend.
Melancholy. Beautifully written.
