Prayer Driven

*image from web*

There are moments that drive you to your knees-
 push you to the foot of the bed in high tension.

the weight of the anger
the burden of  confusion

 simply
 bow you

and in that moment you realize
 this
has driven me to pray

and suddenly a moment of vice
cunningly unfolds into a moment of blessing

that can only be unwrapped
 at the foot of the cross
