Repose In God


The Lord is my shepherd;
   there is nothing I shall want.
 Fresh and green are the pastures
   where he gives me repose.
                                                       Psalm 22:1-4


Repose In God

The miraculous
has come,
once more,
kneeling
on the silks of night,
 transparent and deep
  star dust shimmering.

A solitary 
singing
from galaxies
unraveling
through
the vast vault
of indigo;

and again we are saved
by this love
God is
opening
in our dark sky
of fear
and loss and suffering;

again His offer
 of rest,
to lie back
in Him,
 
as day 
into the glistening
sheets of
night,

as sleepers
into dreams.
