it
is 2014
this
the good old united states
women
are supposed to be liberated
not
submissive or obedient - especially
to
some archaic teaching - to Christian thinking.
that’s
not what i see
kneeling
in prayer
is
beauty
is
purity
is
virtue
towers
a
symmetrical row
3
young women
lined
up togetherness
in
solitary worship and prayer
kneeling
on the concrete floor
or
even more worn kneelers
their
heads are bowed and hands
clasped
together
above
the seatbacks - like protecting gates
behind
which lips dance
in
silence
unison
found in the practice
of
daily prayer
each
is a model of modestly - in their dress
they
respect their creator - with
a
veil in remembrance
these
young women follow
what
the
holy spirit tells their hearts
society
discourages
these acts of devotion – yet -
these
young women
(some
parents little girls)
have
found a light of truth
in
the midst of darkness
today
3
in beauty
remember
a solitary young girl
bowed
down in prayer – she
heard
the message Gabriel
heralded
the
call of God’s spirit
into
her purity
the
salvation of the world was born
it
is 2014
this
the good old united states.
these
liberated women
devoted
to the One
they
truly love
speaking
to their hearts
reveals
true beauty found in
eyes
that sparkle with His fire
Inspiration:
Song of Solomon 7:4 (NLT)
Your neck is as beautiful as an ivory tower.
Your eyes are like the sparkling pools in Heshbon by the gate
of Bath-rabbim.
Your nose is as fine as the tower
of Lebanon overlooking Damascus
