Prayer Poems

Poems are like prayers.
They want to be heard.
They are sent to an addressee
with words that carry messages.
Poems want to be understood.
They are laced with hope,
and folded with care.
Poets stamp their envelopes,
and mail the words to be found.
Poems are written for the heart.
They want to be read.
They are meant to be listened.
