Knees on the Ground

Prayers - Simple Prayer

By Karen Laven

Knees on the Ground

WKneesontheGround117x175
Not a catchy song
from an idolized show.
Just a simple reflection
upon genuflection and
how difficult it's become
with each passing year
to bend and re-straighten
without a cringe and a sigh.

Sometimes my knees
take it upon themselves
to voice their displeasure;
and a rickety crack
pierces the air.
Perhaps my aging patellas
are voicing their own prayer?
