[Wjames]

Hello all,

A Silent Prayer

Each morning the rising sun utters a silent prayer,
as its rays serene and white,  I don't think you need a comma here, I don't naturally pause at the end of the line.
take the world in a loving embrace.

One more dawn, one more beginning,
one more chance to set things right,
to lead the soul to Divine Grace. What is Divine Grace? I don't know, you might want to try and be more specific (concrete, real-world objects/images/sights/sounds/tastes/smells)

Why are the souls so morphed and masked?
What is the cause of humanity’s plight?
Why so deep in worldly stupor is every face? I may not agree with the (vague) questions being asked. Perhaps some specific examples of what you mean would make them more convincing. (i.e: show me a little word-movie of someone's soul being morphed/masked, and ask why that is the case.)

Each morning the light beckons
but darkness in the hearts glows bright
blinds the eyes and leads the race.

I think the poem needs more imagery, I want the poem to use my five senses to make me feel something. This is especially the case in a religious poem, where there are many abstract concepts that may mean nothing to the reader (divine grace, souls, darkness in the hearts).

It's definitely difficult to write about god without such abstractions though, so using imagery might be tough. Hopefully you get something from my thoughts.
