boldness reflects depth of need

i ask
©3/19/09 hannah muonio

i know i ask the world of You
i ask for impossible things
and i ask for them expectantly.

sometimes i tremble at my bold requests.

but i often ask
from a place of desperation
knowing of
and clinging to Your solidity
to Your charity
and to Your power.

i ask
aware of my inability
my fallibility
my instability
and my persistent and consistent need.

clinging to Your feet,
i dare to touch You.

adoringly,
i ask the world of You.
expectantly
boldly
desperately…
unapologetically.
