Down On My Knees (Poem)

Have I not prayed long enough?
I thought I did, they said I had.
Guess we were wrong…
Have I not begged long enough?
I hoped I had, they said I did.
We can’t be wrong…
Hello! I’m here!
Perhaps too low to SEE
Down here on my knees
You’ve lost track of me
Down
On
My
Knees
Just look down to find me
don’t mind me
I’ll be here for a while
Until the ground turns to ash
And the ash turns to wind
And the wind carries my prayers
And I no long have to beg.
Has it been long enough…?
Loud enough?
