kneelers

sometimes
God
i feel like we should
only sing
to
a few
at a time
over coffee on an open mic
or no mic at all
just human voice through the air

or in a small chapel
with kneelers
kneelers

knees to floor

in a posture of dependency
speaking, singing,
whispering
one stumbling child
to another

knowing that
You are
closer than the air
and
we
are all
in the same aching need of You 

and that
none of us
can be anything of use
to this gasping world
until You breathe on us
calm our souls with Your touch
and lift our weary bodies up to serve 

and then 
maybe
just maybe

we might be able to pull somebody
to safety

and maybe
just maybe

it will be
me
