Symbiosis

Intently, she listens for Him to call her
she’d gladly wait hours for the one she calls “Sir”

she kneels patiently next to the door
He sits working at his desk across the floor

At last he whispers “Please come to me, girl”
And finally her numb legs she can uncurl

Painful pins and needles stab at her body
she knows her movements are ungraceful and wobbly

she wastes not a second as she moves to his side
Though He said please, the order’s implied

For He may speak low with a voice soft and gentle
But the commanding tone is in no way accidental

From her corner she crawls on her knees
Ready to serve Him, longing to please

Kneeling again when she reaches his chair
she feels his strong hands caressing her hair

“Well done, little one,” He says with a smile
If it pleased Him, she’d gladly crawl for a mile

she does as he says without reservation
she obeys him completely, without hesitation

And He gives back to her as much as He takes
Because He loves her so much it makes his heart aches

she is far more to Him than a mere obligation
she is more to Him than living breathing temptation

To Him she’s more precious than the rarest stone
Without her, He’s only a King with no throne

Without her devotion, he knows he’d be lost
To keep and protect her, He’d pay any cost

To make her happy, there’s nothing He wouldn’t do
For she may need Him but He needs her too
