I PRAY

(by jann castor, 6/14/99)

all I pray for
is a woman I love

all I pray for
is kindness and giving

all I pray for
is wonders and touch

all I pray for
is you

come and sit at my table
come and speak neither of gods nor evil

just stretch your hand
so I could reach

inside of all awe

you have
you are
you will

gently kiss me
so I could return

always
there
forever to

you
I once knelt in front of

being with you is my honor
knowing you is my privilege
wanting you is my desire

goddess.
