A Silent Prayer

 To Lauren, my best friend and my sister. <3

A silent prayer, spoken in the soft soothing
voice of hope. Sent up to the heavens
above, with the grace of an angel's wings
beating against the sky. A sparkle
of brightness, buried in the depths of night.
Blackness folds in waves of velvet, blanketing
a cloud of silence over the brown of the earth.
The silent prayer, cast out from the hearts
of many with the love of a daughter to a father,
fiercely fighting against the darkness.
Beating, beating until the darkness is no more.
Cascading curls of silver down from the paled
sun, destroying the hidden black.
Light,
fighting, always fighting, fighting for the daughter,
and fighting to beat the dust from the darkness.
