the penny prayers

we pray
when we need something.
when desperate,
when in pain,
or in sorrow.
we want a way out.
an easy
answer.
a magic wand to be waved
to make all things
right.
we pray.
we get on our knees
and beg.
we make vows we can't
keep,
but our prayers are pennies
tossed into the well.
when it takes more than that,
it takes the whole soul
to go down, before
rescued from hell.
