Silent Prayer
by Elizabeth Staab

Lord, You know I love You.
My tongue is stiff and heavy,
Like men's boots in deep snow.
Iced with self-thought,
My words asphyxiate.
I lie silent, sensing You so close,
Closer than my breath, my thoughts.
You see the words I cannot shape,
The soul that sighs to sound Your praise.
Lord, You know.
