The Hidden Closeness

 But you, Lord, are near to me,
  and you are trustworthy in all your precepts.
                                                                 Psalm 118





The soul selects her beauty
then swings open- 
wide the doors;
inviting and gracious
more 
or less.

Yet, sometimes the stunning
comes swooping in, 
startling,
like the great 
slate-ivory wings
of the blue heron,

shaking the wind
like a snap of sail
out of the unexpected
moment
and lush crescendo 
of summer:

piercing the river,
her place 
in the pulsing living,
tacking upstream
through the waves of wind
while I was stooping,

reaching for gold
through the currents  
of dangling light
and hidden
closeness of You,
Lord.
