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.
