Reverse Prayer

"File:Yoga Hasta Vinyasas Pristanjali or Reverse " by Anthony Grim Hall

by Maddie Dewsbury

His power is in my hands   

as I pull your wrists together.  

Press palm against palm  

and beg for His forgiveness.  

I shake the restraint   

of His judgment as rope   

wraps your visage—  

earning your favor  

loses His. Trust   

your faith to carry   

what He could not.  

You hold, subservient  

to me as I was to Him.  

Does this make me 

your God 

as He was mine?
