Kneels: Lamentations: Prayers and Poetry

                Kneels 

                Now she kneels

                in the pits she created

        

                emptied of self-denial

                truly prays from a

                heart cleansed from all pride

                caring only for the innocent

                sufferers, purged from

                ambition, seeking only

                welfare. Covets for city's

                restoration.

                Now her prayer

                answered. "Do not fear."

Psalm 37:28: "For the Lord loves justice; He will not forsake his faithful ones. The righteous shall be kept safe forever, but the children of the wicked shall be cut off."

                

Refining Words

KNEELS

Love kneels to wash

away the dirt-

layers clogging heart,

mind, soul.

Refreshed by care

soothed by presence,

held close until restored

again and again without

ceasing.

Beyond end of days;

Love kneels.

John 13
