Elucidating Questions

It may not be the same as what you do when you hope and pray

Someone will save you

Instead I take a breath and call the slithering wind

Fill the vapour with the thoughts of the rains of a thousand years of tears

And breathe out

And hope it reaches before they get burnt out

Mercury’s silence

Rain

Cloud

Mist

Watery

And Windy.

Because it’s all I can do.

Just like you.

Praying and hopeful

I take a breath, do as I can, and then ask for aid.
