We Never Kneel To Pray

We Never Kneel To Pray

We never kneel to pray

we kneel to forgive

we entreet on our feet

we kneel to forgive

We never kneel to pray

we beseech in silence over tea and eggs

appeal to the fool moon

crave a quiet morning

divine the aroma of a beautiful stranger,

implore a different history,

we never to pray

Within the vast splendor

we are the harvest beyond horizons that fail

you may awake to peaceful explosions of seed

savoring the contours of silences

move quietly through sunlight and dusk

through sunlight and dust

We never kneel to pray

We kneel to forgive

If I listen carefully

there is a lovely part of me wandering these streets

I always leave a piece for that purpose

We never kneel to pray

You may if you listen carefully

 hear a lovely part of me wandering these streets

We always leave a piece for that purpose

We never kneel to pray
