Kneeling into submission
Please allow me to kneel. I need to kneel.
Please allow me to kneel before you, Naked and exposed, Not because I am lesser than But because I know you accept me as I am.
Please allow me to kneel before you, Head to the floor, Not because you are greater than But because I need to become small again.
Allow me to kneel Not because I worship you But because I recognize your strength: Your ability to contain, To hold my power for me.
Allow me to subjugate myself Not because you need control But because control will not corrupt you: Your compassion sustains; You will ensure my well-being.
Allow me to perform obeisance Not because you demand it But because I need it: The release, the relief, the renunciation of my will, The return to unique insignificance.
Please allow me to kneel before you In a world where gods are human Because I need to remember The stars in relation to my existence.
Please allow me to kneel before you When the divine is oft ignored Because you are courageous Enough to reject the seduction of its mantle.
I need to submit. Please accept my submission. |
