I begin my prayers
with appeals,
requests, special
consideration
as if God were some
bureaucrat
looking down at me
from his seat
up on high.
when I silence
all my begging
I am left
with nothing
to say.
Have I been
nothing but a
lobbyist
all this time?
I quiet myself
and listen,
for once.
While there are
no words,
I feel that I
am held together,
protected,
anticipated.
I have no need
to ask.
