Waiting for an outcome

http://anonymouslegacy.blogspot.com.au/2013/03/visdare-12-waiting.html  The word is WAITING.

Do I wait for a ‘God’ to answer me
is that why I am here
I don’t believe…agnostic though not complete
for I hold my hands in prayer

when life is troubled
can’t find my way
I find myself hands clasped
but religion and I aren’t
intertwined…no committed belief

I come here for solace
for the sanctuary within
towered columns and lead light
the safety recognised silence

The seats uniformed
no pews to sit I ‘grab a chair’
and cross my legs
contemplate life, reflect on what ‘if’s’

For there is comfort from the
world outside,  I hear
the organ keys hear the choir
of voices … what I need today

Whatever my belief even for this
second I am waiting
I sit introspective
for answers that I seek

For today’s thoughts could be
tomorrow’s memories
and comfort I may not need
let me be here… close the door

it is me… I purely seek

For Visdare

Arabian Sonnet – Here they lie

Arabian Sonnet

Basically it follows the Italian form, but because of the proximity of the two countries it’s not surprising there would be some influence. It has a rhyme scheme of;
a. a. a. a. . . b. b. b. b. . . c. c. c. . . d. d. d.

Strike of lightening on stormy night
tombstones stand, no living in sight
darkness, eeriness, that imparts fright
pray for the morning, wish for daylight
kneel down read the words carved on stone
remember the lives of those now alone
under the earth not skin only bone
listen as they cast a shivering moan
they want to be heard, be alive and not dead
not veiled under earth, watch where you tread
buried, alone, saddened tears we have shed
don’t cry for me, help me I want to be there
don’t leave I implore you, I want again to breathe air
don’t walk away, stay with me, I need more than your prayer
