Unscented Perfume of Prayer

Pure, delicate but fragile flavor of petition
I savor my unheard plea with pleasure,
to whom my bearing will face and plead silently?

Shall I pant to groan unconditionally?

I wholly perceived an answer voicelessly,
a surety worthy of security perceptively,
the scent of hope is as pleasant as fragrance,
barring  its odor mixture of faith and goal
that only He can smell the imploring of this soul,
in an unblemished, unscented perfume of prayer!
