ON OUR KNEES
Marriage is sacred
Not because it is sanctified by God
but because it brings us to our knees
Kneeling on the cold wooden floor
we are asking for blessings
we are asking for answers
How to love?
How to be loved?
A yearning heart
sitting before the altar of love
candles lit in worship
A screaming heart
standing before the vast despair
arms raised, raging
A silent heart
kneeling before itself
eyes closed in hope
All asking
How to love?
How to be loved?
