            In the silence of a chapel, I prayed |

            Just as a flower knows that bees will come to it that is how we too will know that God hears our prayers. For everything in this world has a reason to be made/born and its prayers are never unheard. So like a flower you stand in prayer in front of God and one day see so many of you spread across the lawn. |

            The metaphor for a bee is not used a lot in poetry especially this way. Though I am not religious I really liked the way you worded this. I think here you compare yourself well to the bee or you are the bee. But instead of flowers or honey you want to be heard. I guess in the end "miracles" can be your honey in this case because that is in turn the end result of a prayer or a bee making honey. I really liked the twist in the middle as well. About the seeds. Without seeds a flower cannot grow and that makes the bee "worthless" in a way.  And without the seeds that grow within you you will not grow  with god. I thought that was a very clever line.  |
