What does it mean
to
peer into a window
at someone
who
does not know
you are looking in?
What does it mean?
Anything?
I kneeled at the
window
sill
and
prayed
I have no clue
if anyone
let alone God Almighty
was
listening
I
just hope
I don’t
get
into
trouble
for
kneeling here
like this
in plain view
If I had to
explain
it
to
a
cop
don’t you think
he or she
would
think
I should be
taken
in?
After all who
at sunset
like
this
(all alone)
goes on his or her knees
and
prays
outside some stranger’s
window?
Does not go in
does not
knock
does not announce
him
or herself?
Doesn’t call
but
kneels
there
like some forlorn
lost
wanderer?
Who
would do such a thing
except
someone
who
should be drummed out
if not
driven
away?
Still
I prayed
and
got away
with
it
My prayer
was that this person
and
everyone
around this person
would be
well
would
be happy
would be safe
I
prayed so
earnestly
No one inside
ever
knew
No one
And
I was not arrested
Instead
got home
nonchalant
like
nothing out of the ordinary
happened
Started dinner
for the wife and kids
Took a
few calls
Answered some emails
But
I got that prayer in
I got it in!
And did you
know
it was
your
window sill?
