Light-footed
angels, grace and truth in their step
this
the response to prayer – the glow of Eternal Love
in
blessed orbit about body and soul
such
the Spirit’s entrance upon
the
summons of that human heart
peace,
the gift of earth and heaven
the
cry for more of same, more of the serene
more
of pleasant dreams, safekeeping
love
notes in muted, merciful music!
Unclear
the moment, subtle the shift from
bright
sunlight to a sepia drizzle
perhaps
storms on the horizon
a robust
threat to imperfect untested resolve
apparent
spoilage – dark clouds awash
with
overtones of heartbreak
whence
this nebulous aura?
from
what noxious fountain
from
what fouled nest
this
specter of anguish and defeat?
the
sometime thrust of daggered lightning
lost
to us that angel footing
the
soothing sights and sounds of tranquility,
elusive
the space for prayerful devotion
whither
that celestial guardian Spirit?
whither
the promises of the living God?
whither
the tender mercies? Why this
tumult?
dawn
seemingly always late in its arrival,
but
at last the healing touch
at
last the dissolve of heavy accented stress
the
shadows slipping away
eyes
opened to the parting clouds, the return
of
sanity and sweet sunlit affections
the
heart once more erect, fresh
renewed
by virtue of the departing storm
perhaps
tempered as well.
God
of all ambience – God of all living –
this
your gift salted by the brine
the
unremitting cycle of blessedness
and
the chastening rod
darkness
and light, all the same to you!
