For God.
Dear God, I want to kneel before you
In humble supplication
My mouth, open, a shallow well, a bruised orifice
My back bent, forward or backward
My eyes closed tight
My head held in the clasp of your gentle hands.
I want to feel your warming touch
Your awesome power, entering, leaving
My body trembling, shaking, a broken conduit
My throat, tight and wet, opening
My voice dissolving into the incomprehensible
My eyes closed but seeing
Small sparks
The world spinning, suspended
Like light and air and water
My spirit rising and rising
And falling and falling.
Dear God, I want to kneel before you
And worship between your feet
I want to stretch and stretch and turn and turn
And have your fair arms wrap around me
And hear you say, “Here I come.”
And answer to you, “Come into me.”
And feel that warm flooding
And swallow
And say, “Amen, Amen.”
