His spirit in me did feel
full of much appeal

At the altar of the seasons knelt
She says a prayer each year
For to make the cold snow melt
And let spring time re-appear...

At the babe so meek and mild
And with their gifts they knelt 
At the feet of the holy child...

A priest made the sign of a cross
Then knelt to pray to his boss
A pigeon flew by
And baptised the guy
To prove prayers do not gather moss...

In church, I sat just behind you
And saw how your discomfort grew
You knelt down to pray
And blew me away
Yet all you can tell me is, "pew"?...

Black cow in green field
One eye to sky, one on ground
Through rusty red gate

Knelt with neck sideways
Reaching extending pink tongue 
For tall greener grass...

Love ya a bunch but my giddy-up has fleed...

I looked into her dazzling eyes
and on my knee I knelt
I took her hand and with mine I felt
I asked her to marry me and to my surprise
She said "Yes" so lovingly
'twas a miracle in disguise...

I lay my chaos at your feet,
stand naked at your altar
& offer you the knife
Better to be sacrificed 
than rise & turn away
I died the day you knelt before me
& lived again as you spoke my name....

Nearer to Thee, by now I prayed I would be
But somehow I've gotten off track
And I need a way back
A way back to the place
Where there was no race
To see and do it now
When I knelt to pray..with my head bowed....

I came on it so suddenly
Far from man's street or broad highway
Raw nature in grand majesty.
Moved and humbled, I knelt to pray.
Jagged peaks in lake reflected
Astounding and so unexpected.

Gracious great Priest with God scored;
We welcomed wonderful priest aboard;
Where he knelt,
Was Bible Belt;
Out to see him people had poured.

I knelt before my God
With no words to speak my need
Only tears of regret and sorrow
Flowed from me endlessly.

Then He, in love and mercy,
Heard the words I could not say,
And in His wisdom answered
The prayer I never prayed....

I knelt by the river
and looked
for a smooth stone 
with a hole,

but the rock I found
was rough and riddled 
with a network 
of passages

sifting light and water,
sandstone worn 
to fragile bridges 
that are barely holding....

Crystal pellets fell one day,
on a city built by men,
They all complained,
that it had rained,
and spoiled their plans again.

Far off in a distant land,
hungry farmers knelt and prayed,
"Lord, give us rain."

We knelt in front in front of his Mother's 
casket.
Tears falling from his very sad eyes.
Mother was only thirty-two!
No family there, simply empty chairs.
A young boy....his teacher..and his
Mother..lying there.

I lassoed some stars from near and far
and kept the dark at bay.
I hugged the moon and danced a tune
until the break of day.
The covers I flung as I kissed the sun
and asked it please to stay.
I sung a verse to the universe
and then I knelt to pray....

Born in a valley's secluded mountain range
 Wandered along the rivers clear 
 Knelt in havens carved in a forest
 Escaped to dwell at ocean's shore
 Enticed to follow budding dreams
 And there, while chasing butterflies
 The barren desert bloomed...

I went to a church
and knelt in the wooden pew-
                    candles glow tranquil
