When you pray for me


I am suspended upon the breath of your lips
The roll and lull of each pleading
That I no longer remember are mine.
I am a crumpled mess of tired trying
Befriending the coolness of this floor
And I'm not sure I can try this hard anymore.

But then I feel the way of your words
Upon warmed in the receiving hand of the Lord
Roll and tuck themselves beneath these heavy arms and aching head
And I am lifted ever so gently without my knowing
'til my eyes have settled above the base of this floor
And my gaze is upon His face once more
And I remember Him
My Lord my Love.
I stand
I walk

He tells me I will learn to dance again.
